The Ryan Painter Show: Recent Episodes

Ryan Painter

Does today's news, current events and politics make you want to bang your head against a wall? Well, guess what, me too! Let's bang our heads against the wall together while taking a (serious, not so serious) look at what's making waves. We'll even talk about some stuff that isn't because maybe a baby orca is news you need to hear right now.

McCullough about Bill C-11, the Trudeau Liberal's Online Streaming Act, and I rant about the climate movement and how their actions are increasingly pitting people against real action on the climate.

WE'RE BACK! After four and a half months (no wonder I'm tired) on the election trail, I'm back in the saddle bringing you society, culture, and current events insights. I'll provide a breakdown of my experience with the local election soon, but in this episode, I introduce a new segment called Let's Get Into It, I talk with Mayor-Elect of Saanich Dean Murdock, and Councillor-Elect of Saanich Colin Plant, Councillor-Elect of Landford Colby Harder, and Check News Political Correspondent Rob Shaw about the BC NDP leadership race (or lack thereof).

In today's episode, I talk about the attack on Salman Rushdie, Joe Rogan, free speech and why I think speaking with love, kindness, and curiocity is more powerful than cancelling people.

Temperatures weren't the only things setting records this weekend. A new political movement in Langford is looking to end what they see as a record of bad governance and a lack of transparency in the south island municipality. In this episode I interview five candidates running under the LangfordNow banner. I ask them why they are running and what they hope to accomplish. NOTE: This is the first in a series of 2022 local election special episodes where I interview candidates and learn why they are running. We dive into what's happening in local municipalities and learn about some of the key issues that will affect how people vote on October 15th. Do you like what I'm producing?

Thwarted again! Unable to nail down a time that works for my most recent guest, instead I spent the whole episode talking about Chris Cornell, why it still hurt so much that he's gone, what his music means to me and so many others, and why it's never too late to ask for help if you're struggling with mental health challenges.

I've either got a cold or forever allergies. Either way, the show must go on. I interview UVic Assistant Professor of political science Will Greaves and we talk about Boris Johnson, Jeremy Corbin, and what Brexit COULD ultimately mean for the unity of the United Kingdom.

Despite Roger's ruining my plans for a deep dive into BC's climate policy and the BC NDP Leadership race, I pulled the podcast together to talk about Elon Musk dropping out of taking over Twitter, some great local Victoria beer (GO PHILLIPS) and thoughts on how the "Green Left" gets it so wrong.

It's Pride Parade Day in Victoria and I get a little ranty (reasonably so) on how important this Pride was in the shadows of the overturning of Roe vs. Wade.

I was so happy to sit down with former MPP for York South - Weston, Faisal Hassan, to talk about his experience during the campaign, where he thinks the Ontario NDP went wrong, and what his plans are next, including if he's going to run for leader of the Ontario NDP.
