Saskatchewan Survivor's Guide

The Riders, AC/DC and Paul’s best idea ever (so far)… Divine Devine: The Musical Presented predominantly in drag, obviously. I know, right?? Such a good idea. We’re probably not getting Creative Saskatchewan funding for it. Survivalists, this isn’t the last podcast of the year but after 23 episodes, or almost a full day listening to us babble, I hope that if nothing else this podcast makes you fee...

We recorded this on Sunday, but I held it because I was wanted to get this companion piece published first: In it I included a graphic that I was originally only going to share with paid subscribers, but then remembered it’s Christmas and decided to share it with everyone: Anyway, I’m convinced that this issue is the number one issue corrupting the Sask Party right now. Taking away the political d...

Dechene’s back from a tour of Alberta’s heartland. In a SUV! Did he come back flying F*ck Trudeau flags? We find out. We also talk about the Conservative Party of Canada’s latest fun attack on municipal politicians . At this point, between PP referring to municipal politicians as “incompetent, greedy, money-hungry” and the interference we saw the CPC try to pull during Regina’s municipal election,...

I think I talked far more than Dechene in this one, which addresses what I covered in my last written post: I don’t understand what happened to Bronwyn Eyre. Maybe it’s me, just not grasping what that kind of power does to a person. I remember her being kooky and different, but not… whatever this is. Anyway, as she transitions back to the life of the unwashed, I wish her all the best. Just kidding...

In this episode we talked about municipal election results, the NDP’s new “Shadow Cabinet” and more on why Scott Moe could be out of the premier’s chair in a matter of weeks and months, not years. Enjoy, T Remember, we’re using ‘ F**k Scott Moe’ as our theme song because, well, is there a more perfect theme song? The artist wants to remain anonymous, but if you’re loving this song as much as we ar...

There’s a lot going on at the moment in various global political spheres, but Regina, Saskatchewan is certainly giving all it’s got on crazy. Nobody knows more about all that than Dechene, seriously. We talked about that, as well the inanity of Scott Moe claiming he “misspoke” when he said the first thing he’d do on his first day of his next term was create a directive on children’s genitalia. Who...

Like I said, it’s feast or famine around here, right? We recorded again yesterday and I see Dechene cut the s**t out of it; thank goodness for that. Did I babble incoherently? Oh yes, I sure did. I feel sorry for Dechene (not really) having to go back and make sense of me. Anyway what’s left is hopefully a relatively decent discussion on the election events of the last week, including our neighbou...

I don’t have much to say about anything this morning, besides that we recorded this yesterday morning. You know, in the Before Times. I’m just kidding - I’m not quite on board with the fullblown End of America As We Know It themes this morning. However, this is not the world many of us were hoping to wake up to, undoubtedly. The reality is the future hasn’t happened yet. We’re here, right now, and...

While “rapid response” is a communications skill I think I’m slowly beginning to master, “rapid analysis” is most certainly not. It’s going to take a while to process what happened last night. It should - it’s a lot of new information about the province we live in. Therefore in the spirit of initial reaction, please accept this offering of hot takes Dechene and I recorded this morning, waking up t...

Another podcast!! Honestly, I can’t get over the response to this product. You folks are amazing. Your feedback has been incredible, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Dechene and I had a few minutes this morning so decided to have one last pre-vote chat. It’ll give you something to listen to while waiting for the results for this gong show to come in. In the meantime, Happy Scott Moe’s Wors...

I know, two podcast releases in one day? Madness, but here we are. Full disclosure: Cathy Sproule is one of my closest people. I’m not using “friends” or “family” because to me, she’s both. She supported me through some mind-numbingly difficult times - made me feel like a human being, when I just didn’t. To give you an idea of her character, Cathy has traveled internationally with my kid… I don’t...

Remember when we started doing this and I was all “we’re going to have a schedule”? Turns out neither Dechene and I are “schedule” people, per say. 😂 We recorded this one on Thursday October 24, 2024. I think - these last days of the election are kind of running together. Personally, I’ll be glad when this writ period is over. It’s been distasteful, divisive and emotionally draining for anyone lo...

We recorded this one Monday October 21, 2024, which feels like forever ago. Suffice to say we talked about the rock bottom being scraped by the Sask Party’s 2024 campaign team. I’ll leave it at that and let you listen - enjoy! T This is a public episode.

This pod is shorter than usual and thank goodness for that, because I was all over the map. Dechene is awesome as usual. We recorded immediately after last night’s debate. I struggled to come up with anything useful, so don’t judge me. Again this morning, I still don’t feel like I have anything profound to add. I know for sure the format was garbage. I think it was trying to be an American-style d...

Huge thank you to Randy Weekes for joining Paul and I for this special episode. Weekes is the consummate professional politician. He most definitely knows how to answer questions like one. :) For me, the takeaway from meeting and chatting with Randy Weekes is twofold: a) The situation in the Sask Party government’s offices in the Legislature (likely across the province) is dangerously toxic and mo...

Last weekend I asked Twitter what Dechene and I should talk about next; the response was overwhelming. Since there were so many issues, we recorded them on Monday (October 7, 2024) as their own episode. From asbestos in public infrastructure to the historical influence of the Saskatchewan Roughriders on provincial politics, we covered a lot of ground. Near the end you’ll be treated to my live, unv...

Happy Monday! In today’s episode, which was recorded yesterday morning (Sunday October 6, 2024), I wandered around while we chatted, not realizing my laptop mic was the one being recorded (as opposed to the one I was holding) so unfortunately my audio is kind of all over the map. But you’ll get the gist. I get candid about my sincere confusion regarding what the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation h...

Critical thinking skills. Long-term memory. Courage. Those are the tools you’re going to need to survive the landslide of b******t heading our way. Dechene and I poured a coffee and talked about them. We also touched on Moe’s video, released yesterday, Canada’s Day of Truth and Reconciliation, with a non-announcement of a provincial election. Remember these podcasts are free for everyone, so pleas...

I need to start writing down what Dechene and I talk about right after we record. While my long-term memory is sharp, I tend to not be able to remember what I had for breakfast. We did definitely talk about the fact that Carla Beck is the first Saskatchewan NDP leader in almost twenty years who’s facing high expectations. Will anything less than forming government suffice for her supporters? If no...

The word of the day is “interference”. Federal-political interference, via third-party groups, in municipal campaigns. Religious interference in the election of school board trustees. Sask Party jackoffs interfering in the delivery of services they know absolutely nothing about, like medicine and education. We talked about that and had a laugh over the Rosthern hospital sign unveiling disaster. Th...

As Paul and Tammy get used to the new podcast and each other, they share a bit about their backgrounds and perspectives. Of course, SaskVotes 2024 came up a few times too. This is a public episode.
