Craziest thing Vancouver – I’m now talking for a living.

My family is not surprised.

This week, I’ve launched 12th and Cambie: The Podcast! , a show dedicated to all things civic affairs. I see it as an extension of the 12th and Cambie column I’ve been writing in the Courier for several years. My first guest was Mayor Gregor Robertson.

He joined me for a solid 20 minutes and talked cycling, his family connection to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and commented on the firing of chief housing officer, Mukhtar Latif. He also brought me up to date on his plans for re-election and responded to my question about stepping aside and letting one of his own councillors have a shot at running for mayor.

“That’s a good question,” he said.

See, the podcast is worth listening to Vancouver – I asked a good question. Hear what the mayor’s response was and please tune in to future shows. You can find 12th and Cambie: The Podcast! on the Courier’s website and at pressplaynetwork.ca. Comments and suggestions are welcomed. In advance, thanks for listening.
