About this listen

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.

    Oct 29 2025

    In a shocking move, the mayor of Duck Lake announced he is open to selling the town’s naming rights for a minimum bid of $10-million dollars. The historic Métis community in central Saskatchewan is dwindling and it needs money to pay for road repairs and new water and sewer lines. Can the town do this? Will any companies make a bid? And what will this mean for people who live there?

  • Why Moe and Beck agree on tailgate parties but not tariffs

    Why Moe and Beck agree on tailgate parties but not tariffs
    Oct 24 2025

    The Saskatchewan Party and the NDP continue to disagree on the best way to deal with tariffs imposed by the U.S. They also can’t agree on how to handle overloaded hospitals or the best way to respond to wildfires. What they do agree on – somewhat surprisingly – is involuntary treatment for people dealing with severe addictions and tailgating at Rider games. Political panelists Alexander Quon and Murray Mandryk say this should lead to a spicy session.
