Description
Two stories a week to connect you to Saskatchewan because when everyone is talking about it, so are we. Whether it’s about a cult that moved into a tiny village, a neighbourhood squabble over squirrels, or the political fallout of canola tariffs, you’ll leave with a better understanding of this place, and your place in it.
On Wednesdays, join host Leisha Grebinski as she scans the province for one news story that matters to you, with help from our team of reporters in Saskatoon, Regina, and Prince Albert. No community is off limits as we cover every corner of Saskatchewan including Île-à-la-Crosse, North Battleford, Gravelbourg, Richmound and more.
On Fridays, Leisha gets the scoop on provincial politics from fellow host Adam Hunter and panelists Alexander Quon and Murray Mandryk. You’ll hear how every decision made by Premier Scott Moe at the legislature connects to you and your community.
