Recap of important issues we covered and plans for the future

Join Justin and Anuj as they reunite in the studio to reflect on nine whirlwind months of “Let’s Talk Antigonish.” From discovering how global politics affects the price of beer in Antigonish to the People’s Place Library ‘s impressive laundry list of services they offer on a shoestring budget, these two neighbours-turned-podcasters have been on quite a journey. In this candid conversation, they break down their episodes into three categories—community matters, social matters, and government matters—while celebrating the incredible organizations working behind the scenes in Antigonish. Learn about topics they’ve tackled like Jazz Fest, the fair, biking culture, refugees, loneliness, palliative care, intimate partner violence, the museum’s evolving role, and why affordable housing remains a pressing issue. Hear about their ambitious plans for 2026, including hiring a journalist to dig deeper into local stories, and discover what’s coming up next (including a chat with Minister of Health and Wellness Michelle Thompson). Whether you’re a long-time listener or brand new to the podcast, this behind-the-scenes peek reveals why local news matters for small-town democracy and how two guys with day jobs are helping keep local news alive—one conversation at a time
