Fall session at the Alberta Legislature kicks off today with the Speech from the Throne: what can we expect from Premier Danielle Smith's UCP government, and Rachel Notley's Official Opposition NDP? Does this Alberta Pension Plan idea actually have legs, or is it doomed to fail (and hurt the government along the way)? 

2:00 | Longtime senior staffers Cheryl Oates and Erika Barootes are teaming up on a new political podcast called The Discourse. They tell us what sets their show apart, and what they're keeping an eye on this legislative session.

Note: The Discourse will be available on Apple Podcasts later this week.

32:00 | Charles Adler talks Nickelback, the Heritage Classic, Matthew Perry, the Alberta Pension Plan, and the Israel-Hamas war in his weekly appearance on the show. 

59:10 | We're one day away from Halloween! This week's Positive Reflections presented by Kuby Renewable Energy features some of Ryan's favourite family costumes through the years, and a Dad who's set the highest Halloween bar we've ever seen!
