Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss the return of Parliament next week, including the soon-to-be-expected federal budget, and what it means for Prime Minister Mark Carney whose policy record thus far has been less ambitious than he promised during the election campaign. In the back half of the show, they update The Hub community on the opportunities and challenges facing The Hub itself in light of ongoing news media subsidies, the threat posed by artificial intelligence, and the growing engagement with The Hub's podcast and video content.
