“Two overgrown undergrads parrot the standard #yegtwitter lines about municipal affairs. It’s not a bad roundup of what’s going on in city council. But their analysis of the issues is sometimes superficial, and — sorry guys — their jokes aren’t funny. Two stars for trying. But it would be less of...”Read full review »
“Troy and Mac really do their homework to help us stay informed on the workings behind the walls at city hall. Although not guaranteed to keep one’s blood pressure down, I still appreciate their highlights of the machinations of council workings.”

“Great show, very informative. I have never heard the fire department mentioned, that must be a big budget line too, any future episodes planned to discuss the state of that area?”
“This show is real gem. I’m so glad I’ve discovered it and thoroughly enjoy learning about the work of YEG city council. Troy and Mack , it is wonderful that you’ve been interviewing new and previous city councilors this season. Love this podcast.”
“Troy and Mack do a phenomenal job of capturing YEG politics in a way that is both entertaining and engaging, providing the rare feeling that municipal politics are important/consequential. I love that the podcast, despite showing some political leaning on certain issues, actually takes some time...”Read full review »
“Such a shame that the high level park concept didn’t receive funding. I think this kind of initiative is more inclusive and worthy than something like electric bike rebates, which will only be accessed by a select few.
Also thank you Micheal Janz for not mincing words re: the UCP and what...”Read full review »

I've never felt like Edmonton has much character, but listening to this show really helps me feel like this city has an actual face and soul. I'm...”Read full review »

“Every time I listen, I learn something useful. And the hosts are right on with their practical (and witty) approach to interpreting municipal affairs. I find it very interesting to learn more about what’s happening in my city, and WHY.”

“You know, I wasn't sure if a podcast about local politics was going to be interesting, but I was instantly hooked after one episode. If you aren't quite sure, give it a go! It's fun, really! I'm really excited about having this as a resource to know about what's going on in...”Read full review »
“This is an entertaining way to stay up-to-date on what Edmonton's city council is up to. Troy and Mack are very knowledgeable, and they earn their opinions (which are strong at times). Their interplay is fun, too, and the year-end quiz was a highlight in 2018 — more to come, I hope!”Read full review »

“Loving this podcast because Troy and Mack do all the dirty work of staying informed and engaged with Edmonton city council, so I don’t have to. I feel like I’ve known more about what’s happening in my city in the last month than I have since I spent several hours a week scrolling though multiple...”Read full review »
