The time has come: the last Radio Free Arthur episode with your beloved co-hosts has arrived.
Through two seasons of this show and the immense privilege of bringing you a slice of Arthur every week on the airwaves, all good things truly must come to an end.
Abbigale and Evan had hoped to end this show on a more somber and hopeful note. That is until the mayor of Peterborough, Jeff Leal, dropped a racial slur during a guest lecture at Trent University.
The news, so they say, stops for no one.

Pokemon go to the polls (again).
A Federal election has been called, marking a whole month since we last went to the polls.
This time is different, though. This time there is more singing.
Co-hosts Abbigale Kernya and Evan Robins track the social media trends of each party and lament about "identity politics" coming to the conclusion that a lot of you are just plain weird.
Also, Abbigale brings up a certain Swedish hockey player again so things are pretty much the same on her end.

Who up yoinking beers?
Our new Prime Minister for one, that's for sure! Co-hosts Abbigale Kernya and Evan Robins talk shop this episode about the dire #darkwoke state of the world, and how Donald Trump is as funny as he is, you know, completely evil.
As Mark Carney offers a new hope for this country one beer at a time, the girls ask themselves how we got here and how the hell do we get off.

TWO WOMEN WITH GLASSES TALK BOOKS:
Dragons, lesbians, lesbian dragons? Co-editors Abbigale Kernya and Evan Robins talk shop about their upcoming March book club pick: The Priory of the Orange Tree.
Arthur doesn't have the greatest track record for book club picks that are unanimously received. Abbigale mainly chose this front-runner for "a book club about dragons" to explain the bragging rights about finishing a book larger than her head.
At least this fantasy book isn't a complete rip off of Welsh culture.

Find out the answers in this week's episode and also prospective baby names because it's been a bit of a slow news week.

Kept you waiting, huh?
At long last RFA returns from a pre-recorded hiatus to send off the Ontario Provincial Election with an hour's worth of sketch comedy bits and serious political insight.
It's like CBC's "The House" with less Ian Hanomansing but the same amount of boomers mad at us.
Speaking of Anchormen, the girls are joined again this week by patented women's space invader David King, to discuss the misinformation pervading discussions of students' electoral eligibilty, as well as a supremely studpid scandal about where exactly Trent students will walk across the stage.

Following a six-hour city council meeting for the ages, the editors invite man of many hats, Arthur hate reader, business manager, policy wonk, and professional "Just Some Guy," Rob Hailman to talk about Monday night's budget-related debate, and coun. Alex Bierk and Keith Riel's Notice of Motion to establish a second emergency shelter space in Peterborough.
Along the way they discussArthur's recent spate of awards recognition for a subject of perennial fun-poking on this podcast, and pickleball (for separate, but not wholly unrelated reasons).

Abbigale, editor most known perhaps for her famous disregard for movies, sits down with her Letterboxd owning co-editor to discuss the one thing that is on everyone's minds: The Oscars.
Most notably, the one film a singular nomination away from Academy history, Emilia Pérez.
Neither of them have seen it. They both do not like musicals and have heard that one song one too many times. So, you know, are qualified to speak on why it probably shouldn't have gotten thirteen nominations.
Also the state of the world, too. With an American election recently passed and one imminent here in Ontario, the girls take you on a road trip to talk municipal shop, including recent #SAVETHECANAL uhhh, fixation? sweeping the 'Boro.

The girls are back on the airwaves after a restful, and tipsy holiday break.
Abbigale recently discovered a knack for crocheting, and her co-host in arms Evan relives the joys of "rotting."
For the first official episode marking the new year, your editors bring you topical news like the recent intent to resign from Trudeau, an update from Peterborough's municipal housing plan, and why Nosferatu (2024) should have been hornier.
New year, same commie rag.
