概要

Back in September 2025, Rogers TV invited me to host a twice monthly show called Newsmakers. The show is about all things local, and maybe some other topics too. After the show airs on Rogers TV, I’m posting abridged versions of the interviews here on The Matt Brown Podcast, sponsored by The Bicycle Café. You are a big part of this show. In fact, we couldn’t do it without you. So, please give a follow. Let us know what you think. Let us know if their topics that you’d like to learn about or maybe you’d like to be on a future show. Email: themattbrownpodcast@gmail.com. For now, this will be the main content for this podcast. We’ll see how it grows from here. I’m excited about this project and I hope you are too. Talk to you soon, London. PS, Buy me a coffee? There are some expenses connected to running a podcast and if you'd like to make a contribution here to support the show, I'd be grateful. Interested?

  • The Good, The Bad and The Unexpected - City Council 2022 - 2026 (Featuring Panelists Steve Cordes and Devon Peacock)
    2026/04/29
    City Hall Watchers Steve Cordes and Devon Peacock are joining the show to take one last look back at the 2022 - 2026 term of London City Council. In this episode we take a look at the Good, the Bad and the Unexpected. By and large, this term of London City Council is coming to a close as our local government switches gears and the focus shifts to election ahead. If you're listening to this on, or after, May 1st - the race is on. Candidates are filing their nomination papers and throwing their hats in the ring. With the election upon us, this current City Council is coming closer and closer to the end of its term. Over the months to come, the topics our panelists speak about today are likely to be the topics that are top of mind for candidates, voters and pundits alike. Our panelists today have seen their fair share of elections. Steve Cordes is the recently Retired Chief Executive Officer of Youth Opportunities Unlimited and he’s also the brand new host of the YouTube Video Blog: “Community Matters”. Devon Peacock is a person you’re probably familiar with. He’s the host of 980 CFPL’s “The Morning Show” and, if you can believe it, he’s been talking politics - on and off the air - here in London for the past 25 years. Thanks for listening!

  • The Municipal Election is Almost Upon Us. Nathan Caranci and Mike Donachie provide insight about where we are today and what might happen next.
    2026/04/23
    The 2026 Municipal Election that is nearly upon us. Political Organizer, Nathan Caranci & Journalist, Mike Donachie join the show to provide some to provide some analysis about what’s happening right now, and what we can anticipate in the weeks and months ahead. At the beginning of May, candidates, both sitting members and challengers alike, will start registering their campaigns down at City Hall - and then the race is on. Running for a seat on a City Council is not for the faint of heart. It's a grueling, months-long endeavour. Picture knocking on hundreds of doors each day, thousands of doors each month; meeting and speaking with thousands of residents - right up to election day - sharing your message as far and as wide as you possibly can. These days, there is a whole digital element to campaigning too. This means that when serious contenders return home after a long day of knocking on doors, they are likely to fill the rest of their evening and early morning hours answering online surveys for this interest group, or that one, posting key messages on social media, returning residents calls and answering their emails too. After all this work, based on the odds, they are experiencing a months-long interview for a job that they probably won’t get. For successful candidates the reward, in terms of public service, is significant - AND - so is the workload. Most members of a council work impossibly hard - attending meetings during the day and events many evenings during the week. On the weekends? Community events and constituency work. Among all of this busy, they also have to find time to respond to emails and calls from constituents, read hundreds, sometimes thousands, of pages of reports in preparation for upcoming council, committee, board and commission meetings. In short, they make sacrifices to serve their constituents and their community. Keep in mind that these 4 years of hard work are then followed by, you guessed it, another months long, gruelling job interview. It’s democracy, and it’s a beautiful thing. London is on the cusp of the 2026 municipal election. As I said off the top, it also means that it’s time for our political panel to join us to provide insight and analysis to help you understand this process better. Nathan Caranci and Mike Donachie are two London Leaders joining us today. Nathan is a Political Insider who has worked on many Municipal Campaigns as well as many Conservative Campaigns, Provincially and Federally. He is also the newly appointed Executive Director of the London Property Management Association. Mike is Communications leader and journalist, and engaged Londoner for many years. A former City Hall reporter for the Metro London newspaper, he now writes about municipal matters here in London, as a public interest reporting project. Thanks for listening!

  • Mike Moffatt & Jared Zaifman discuss the new Fed/Prov Housing Affordability Plan
    2026/04/16
    Late last month, Prime Minister Carney and Premier Ford launched an Multi Billion Dollar Housing Affordability Program that’s likely to have a significant positive impact on the housing market - right across the country. Mike Moffatt and Jared Zaifman are joining us today to take a deep dive into the details of the plan. The program the Prime Minister & Premier launched is called “Canada-Ontario Partnership to Build" and, it’s big. It’s an $8.8 Billion Dollar initiative designed to accelerate housing construction, here in London and right across the Province. Dr. Mike Moffatt holds a Ph.D. in Management Science from Ivey Business School and an M.A. in Economics from the University of Rochester. He’s worked with politicians and policymakers of all political stripes in several countries to craft more effective public policy. He’s the founder of the University of Ottawa's Missing Middle Initiative (MMI), the co-host of the Missing Middle Podcast and so much more. Jared Zaifman is the CEO at The London Home Builder’s Association and he is a former member of London’s City Council. Over the past several months, Jared has taken several trips to Toronto and Ottawa with Provincial and Federal Home Builder Association colleagues to meet with government officials and to lobby for the policy changes that we’ll be talking about today. Thanks for listening!
