As elections swept through the province this week, many new faces were inducted into local halls of democracy — some of those faces marking historic firsts, from Dr. Jyoti Gondek winning Calgary's mayoral race to a record-setting eight female councillors taking seats in Edmonton's city hall.
Now as Albertans slowly, safely begin to gather 'round, we notice — as Bob Dylan noted once — that the old road is rapidly aging. But never fear: We've got a fresh set of playlists to accompany you, wherever you roam.
The “subscribe” button on any of the Listen Notes playlists will let you grab a playlist for your podcatcher. Sample the shows below, or check out the full week’s roundup on Spotify.
