Oct 10, 2026 · 17 min · 8 segments
The views expressed in this mini-series are not representative of CFUV 101.9 FM’s views, but the reflections from two independent creators. This is the first episode in a limited series focusing on…
Um, just for all of our listeners who are tuning in, we're gonna do, um, a series of a bunch of short episodes.
Uh, we debated whether we wanted to do, like, a longer sort of episode that just encompasses everything or shorter ones.
But as two very ner- neurodivergent [laughs] people-
Yes
...
I feel like it's helpful to kinda have chapters, and you can listen to bite-sized pieces and decide what really matters to you and what you don't care about as much.
So this first episode is gonna just be a bit about us, about why we decided to do this podcast, and give you guys all some context for this conversation we're having.
Um, and then we're gonna subsequently film some epis- or record some episodes, um, where we're gonna discuss how the municipal government even really works, um, what they're responsible for, 'cause I think that's something I know I for sure am not clear on.
[laughs] And-
It, it's a lot.
It's a lot.
It's a lot.
It's a lot.
[laughs]
No.
So.
[laughs]
Absolutely not.
Which is why we're doing this.
Exactly.
[laughs]
And then we're gonna go through also the list of mayoral and council candidates for Victoria, um, in 2026.
And then we might even follow up with some stuff about the provincial elections if y'all are lucky.
So I guess we'll see about that.
