Welcome back to Inside the Village, a one-of-a-kind podcast where all news is local — and no topic is off-limits.
On this week's episode: Prepping for the big showdown.
Next week will be a crucial one in the ongoing federal election race, as party leaders take the stage for back-to-back debates on Wednesday and Thursday in Montreal.
First up will be the French debate, moderated by Radio-Canada's Patrice Roy, at 8 p.m. on April 16. The English-language debate will air the following night at 7 p.m., moderated by TVOntario's Steve Paikin.
How will the format work? What kind of preparation is going on behind the scenes? Paikin joins us on this week's podcast to answer those questions — and a lot more.
Thursday's debate will be Paikin's ninth as moderator (four federal, five provincial). And yes, he still gets butterflies.
Hosted by Scott Sexsmith and Michael Friscolanti, the Editor-in-Chief of Village Media, Inside the Village is a news and current affairs podcast that provides a weekly window into some of the best local journalism from across our chain of Ontario newsrooms. Produced by Derek Turner, the program also explores bigger-picture issues that impact people across the province.
