Unless you’ve been living under a rock or perhaps avoiding the storm of AMS elections time, this episode is all about elections. Catch up on recaps of all of the races (1:20-18:00), check out Gurvir Sangha’s opinion on this year’s candidates from his perspective as a past Senator (18:30-28:00), and finally, listen to our endorsements of this year (28:30-33:00). Look forward to future episodes releasing about things that I swear are not elections related.
I hope you learn something, or at least enjoy the lively instrumental versions of the pop songs that I picked out. And I’m so sorry if I completely butchered your name. This is my very first attempt at doing something like this, so the curse of nervousness wins again. 

Episode 1: AMS Elections

On our first episode, “Definitely Irish,” reporter Zak Vescera and producer Jack Lamming took a look at the influx of young Irish people who rent in Dunbar over the summer. They managed to get to the bottom of why the Irish come to Vancouver and whether they are discriminated against when they look for housing and jobs.
