About this listen

In our inaugural episode of Nonpartisan Hacks, we dive headfirst into the world of local government — the meetings, the budgets, the sewage (yes, really). Joel Granz and Sean Wood explain why they started this podcast, why politics doesn’t have to be partisan, and why boring government is actually a good thing.

We take on regional districts, mystery tax line items, and the Deloitte report on Metro Vancouver’s 41-member megaboard (spoiler: it’s unwieldy). Plus, we debut our Quote Take segment and dive into the world of spicy Facebook comments about housing, infrastructure, and whether city councils can cure the doctor shortage.

If you’ve ever wondered who makes the decisions that affect your garbage pickup or why your property taxes fund things you’ve never heard of — you’re in the right place. Buckle up for a fun, occasionally ranty, surprisingly entertaining ride through the machinery of good government.
