We kick-off Season 7 with a review of the most-listened to podcasts we produced in 2025.

Four of the top 10 aired last January which gave TGCTS a strong start to the season, and overall five of the top 10 featured our exclusive interviews with newsmakers!

In Part 1 you'll hear which episodes didn't make the top 20 but led the months of May, June, October and December.

11.25 Part 2- Numbers 10 through 20 are discussed - which included 3 episodes about NDP cabinet ministers, 2 about safe consumption site consultations, and our federal election coverage launch.

30.33 - You'll hear a countdown from Number 9 to the most popular episode of Season 6 - which may surprise you as it did us.

Among the names and topics that helped drive listener interest in the chart-toppers include Dan Lett and Tom Brodbeck of the Winnipeg Free Press, Coun. Jeff Browaty, Police chief Gene Bowers, Families Minister Nahanni Fontaine (x2), and three were interviews with political candidates.

A special mention goes to our tribute to our friend entitled 'About Joanne Cochrane, and other things' which finished in second place.
