Barry Boyce joins us with reflections about the life and death of his dear friend, Raymond Taavel. Then, Sean MacGillivray stops by to talk about the contentious online community of Halifax Locals. Plus, the Morse's Teas sign is painted over, bus drivers go on strike, there's a new mayor in town and Beep drink is back.
