Special guest Louise Hartland from CTV Vancouver Island tells us the story of a U-Vic student who dropped out because she couldn't find a decent home to rent.

Also, Arcade Fire are coming. Also, we all have weed eaters....

Join host Ryan Price as he hangs out with Corey Polkinghorne and James Ball to discuss the week's news.

This week, we started to see some resolution in several big local news stories - a guilty plea in the case of Constable Sarah Beckett, former Victoria Police Chief Frank Elsner getting a new job, and the election results firm up two weeks after the election. We chat about possible fines for smokers in the CRD. Plus, a brand new water park opens in Esquimalt...and it's great.

25:25 - 44:36: The U2 concert review.

0:00 - 29:16: B.C. election wrap up. We review all the Victoria area races and geek-out on possibilities since no one really won. What does that mean?

29:16 - 43:47: We review our favourite hikes in Victoria, plus a new "Netflix Review."

New bike lanes cause a commotion and Mr. Floatie says goodbye

0:00 - 20:52: B.C. Election predictions for the South Island! Ryan makes his (probably wrong) predictions for what's going to happen in the Greater Victoria area come the May 9th provincial vote. He's helped out by Andrew McLeod from thetyee.ca

20:52  - 44:45: Special guest Ceara K from 107.3 KOOL FM joins the panel discussion, which ranges from 4-20 in Victoria to the ridiculous Rainbow Unicorn Frap story.

0:00 - 9:43: Host Ryan Price digests some of this week's news -- how will the Federal Government's new marijuana legalization bill fit into Victoria? And, a B.C. Liberal Party election promise rubs us the wrong way.

20:33 - 27:33: The New Pornographers are coming to Victoria.

32:36 - 44:10: Our Netflix review of comedy specials.

0:46 - 20:53: The city flirts with permitting sleeping in cars in the face of a housing crisis. The idea is met with satire. It's just one of the housing related stories that get us thinking.

20:40 – 37:47: The regulars, Corey Polkinghorne and James Ball, discuss the temporary demise of the “Rock the Shores” music festival in Colwood. Are we a victim of an over-saturation of music festivals? Plus get an update on  a new trampoline park in Esquimalt and a new burger joint downtown.
