The opening segment is a commentary about the role of alternative media, the entrenched ivory-tower local institutions, and the state of critical and other reporting in the local MSM, that is a must-hear for those concerned about free speech in our community.
Then, three blogs anchor the three segments today:
Civic: The slush fund being carved out of new garbage fees, and the Gem Equities court file are each dug up by a blogger with personal observations about the track record of those involved and the lack of genuine common-sense analysis by elected officials.
Provincial: What's with Selinger appointing interim Ministers to handle key departments?
Crime and Courts: James Turner proves that when it comes to 'accidental' prisoner releases, the time line tells the tale.

The next podcast will be on Tuesday with an exclusive story coming from the Law Courts building.
