I really enjoyed this smart and opinionated discussion of local issues. Looking forward to the next episode!

Great to have those two veteran reporters on.

Do try to eliminate Neil's double reflection behind him! That's a bit distracting.

I look forward to future editions.

Right now we're focused on getting great content out. Improving the production quality will be a steady hill we climb over a number of weeks.

Love to see Joanne and Jon back at it. I do take issue with first, Joanne's comment about less than 20% of eligible voters elected a majority government “that's weird” and then Neil, your comment, “it's the nature of democracy”. No it's not! I'm not sure why you wouldn't have seized on the opportunity to call-out the anachronistic system of First Past The Post. It is not democratic. It's anti-democratic. We need to have a serious discussion about proportional representation where every vote counts not just 18% who elect a majority government.
