After one term, Councillors Courtney Walcott, Jasmine Mian and Evan Spencer have announced they won't run again in the upcoming municipal election. From feeling gross to maxing out a pain tolerance, hear about their experiences and why they're out.

In late January, former city councillor Joe Magliocca was found guilty of fraud. It all comes back to expense claims around meals and drinks from his time in office. Stick with us as we hear about his trial, and learn more about Magliocca's sometimes colourful time on council.

New home developments are often opposed by people who say "Not In My Backyard" — and Calgarians are sometimes labelled as NIMBY when they want to avoid more dense housing near their existing properties. We hear from a Calgarian frustrated by a new project he thinks doesn't match his neighbourhood, and a developer who talks about how to avoid residents saying "no" to anything near their backyards.

Our friends to the East have this habit. They tend to say Calgary weird. We don't like it, but we want to know why they do it. Luckily, our sister podcast in Saskatchewan looked into it!

The federal Conservatives have openly bragged about how young people are getting more involved with their party than one might guess, based on stereotypes and clichés about teenagers and voters without much grey hair. Hear straight from two young Calgarians why they got involved in federal politics, and what the next federal election means to conservatives under 25 in this city.

Calgary has been experiencing a rate of population growth not seen since the 1980s. We talk with three newcomers to Calgary — from elsewhere in Canada, Kenya and Ukraine — to hear what surprised them about the big move.

Music venues in Calgary face a lot of challenges when it comes to keeping live music alive in this city. Places like Mikey's or the Blues Can have even had to relocate at times - sometimes repeatedly. We ask what the challenges are when you want to host music in this city - and explain why some say Taylor Swift is the problem, it's her.

With stars savouring Calgary's many menus, we need to talk about our restaurant scene that's tastier by the day. A Concorde Group boss as well as restaurant critic Elizabeth Carson serve up hot takes with Anis.

Late every fall, city councillors and the mayor huddle up and spend all your tax dollars. From last minute pleas to save pools to which councillor goes to Blowers and Grafton, we break down the budget debate and why you should care.

The City has plans to improve some of the main streets all across Calgary. But just like a home reno, construction often takes longer - and is a worse experience - than you ever expect. So what is even happening when it comes to these main drags? We head to ground zero of Marda Loop's revamp to hear from the people who live there, the businesses that work there, and the City itself.
