Victoria This Week

Ryan Price and Corey Polkinghorne are joined by special guest Ceara K from 107.3 KOOL FM to discuss this week's news.

The second episode of our first annual clip show. Revisiting some of our favourite show moments in 2018.

Ryan, Corey and James review Christmas and the year 2017.

Ryan, James and Corey discuss the news in Victoria over the second week of December.

Ryan Price, James Ball and Corey Polkinghorne explore the news of the week... eventually.

Ryan Price, Corey Polkinghorne and James Ball chat about the week's events... or in this case not really.

This week's discussion twists and turns through Black Friday and Christmas holiday busyness, the lack of progress on getting something done on the E&N rail line, rescue dogs and beaver facts.

Ryan, James and Corey cover a lot of ground in this week's chit-chat about news and events in Victoria, B.C.

This week's topics include: the future of the Juan de Fuca lands past Sooke are a major point of contention, we talk about why; we use Remembrance Day and the 100th Anniversary of Passchendaele to learn about the man whose name adorns Pearkes Rec Centre; the Eagles of Death Metal are coming to town, and.... trying to get our heads around the never ending barrage of sexual misconduct stories in the news.

The gang's back together for the first time in a while, riffing on the week's news. We also learn about Sea Lions with a new "nature corner" and hear the latest concert announcements.

Ryan and James are joined by special guest Ceara K from 107.3 KOOL FM for a conversation that's all over the map.

We recorded this show a few hours after learning that Gord Downie, singer and front man of The Tragically Hip, died of brain cancer at age 53. All of us on the show are life-long fans so we scrapped whatever was planned and dedicated this week's episode to the memory of this great Canadian.

Victoria This Week theme episode on our city's ghost stories. Ian Gibbs, co-host of the "Ghost Story Guys" podcast and author of the book "Victoria's Most Haunted," joins Ryan to share stories that, yes, are spooky but that also provide a colourful look at the city's history.

The new B.C. Government is rolling out a plan to build modular homeless housing in any community that wants it. The Ca[ital Region is poised to jump on board. So, we think it's time to figure out what the term modular homeless housing even means and why we're doing it. Plus, we investigate why our houses are filling with spiders at this time of year, we discuss how this year's weather reduced the apple crop to the point that  Sea Cider is pleading for apples, and we profile Canadian rock band "the Sadies" after their recent show in Victoria.

Ryan Price, Corey Polkinghorne and James Ball compile a list of their favorite tricks for eating lunch for under $10.

There's a pitch to change Mile Zero, where Douglas Street (technically the Trans Canada at this point), ends at Dallas Road next to Beacon Hill Park. What are the changes proposed? Why are they being proposed? Let's dive in through the big orange zero and discuss! Plus, we review "A Long Time Running," a documentary about Canadian rock band The Tragically Hip's final tour in 2016, which heavily features the Victoria show.

Is this finally the end of the B.C. election saga? The speaker of the legislature is chosen in dramatic fashion (and Ryan gets too excited about it). Plus, we have a prediction for how legalized marijuana will be sold in B.C., there's a whale quiz, and trees that decide to discard branches.

After a fish farm in the San Juan Islands releases thousands of Atlantic salmon into local waters, we go over the big picture of salmon farming. Plus, a lively discussion over bridge tolls and awkward human experiences unique to camping in B.C. Parks.

A Johnny Depp movie called "Richard Says Goodbye" has been filming at Hatley Castle, and the latest "Pup Star" movie is shooting downtown. That gets us into our Victoria This Week list of best movies that feature our city. Also the McKenzie interchange project is delayed, the Commonwealth Games bid seems dead, an Island musical festival gets a new name and new acts, and much more on this week's show.

We cover Victoria's attempt to bring the Commonwealth Games to Victoria in 2022, the design for (what could become) downtown's new tallest building, and... James Ball visits the raptor centre in Duncan and things get weird: .
