You might have noticed that we don't always put the maximum amount of effort into planning these, but sometimes that pays off, and I feel like this episode was one of the best, as we meandered our way through all the hot topics in the General Election.

In this week's episode we talk to the Mayor of the Cambridge & Peterborough Combined Authority Dr Nik Johnson about his plans for buses in the region.

Days after the shock announcement of a July 4th General Election, Alex, David, Martin and Stephen discuss the fallout. This episode has double the usual amount of Parliamentary Candidate.

On this week's episode Alex, Stephen, and David* talk with Paul Salmon, who is one of the Project Managers on the A428 Black Cat to Caxton Gibbet upgrade, about the project, the road, road safety and all things highways related.

We also enquire about the welfare of the Black Cat.

*Martin will be back next week.

In the wake of low turnouts at last weeks local elections, and considering apathy, and even hostility, towards politics and politicians, Alex, David, Martin and Stephen discuss whether politics is dying, and what can be done to save it.

In the episode we review the outcome of the May 2024 Cambridgeshire Elections, including Police and Crime Commissioner, Cambridge City Council, Peterborough City Council, and even a St Neots Town Council by-election.

Alex, David and Stephen are joined by Martin Curtis, who is the former Leader of Cambridgeshire County Council, and still a proud One Nation Conservative (even though he has cut formal ties with the party). No more accusations of being too lefty!

In this episode Alex, David and Stephen talk with Stagecoach East bosses Darren Roe and David Boden about the obstacles to and opportunities for providing a reliable bus service in Cambridgeshire.

Alex and Stephen start the new year with a live broadcast from Ferro Lounge in St Neots some of which was still underwater because of the flooding.
