May 2, 2025 | 9:22 AM

Episode 20 of The Everything Red Deer Podcast is out now.

This week, we close the door on the 2025 federal election. First, host Josh Hall goes over some fast facts from the results of local ridings, then it’s ‘In Case You Missed It’ (6:19). Without further ado, Josh speaks with Red Deer MP-elect and House of Commons first-timer Burton Bailey (10:48); and finally, Pattison Media’s Alberta news director Sheldon Spackman is in conversation with Ponoka-Didsbury MP-elect Blaine Calkins, who has been elected for a seventh time (21:36). Both MPs represent the Conservative Party of Canada. To close, Josh has one final election-related request for everyone (30:17).
