Hello and welcome to rabble radio, the proud reemergence of our weekly audio magazine. Rabble radio has its finger on the beat of the issues that matter to you.

After that I’ll take you through last week’s headlines in a segment called “in case you missed it.”
Earlier this month rabble.ca presented our monthly edition of “Off the Hill” – a panel that takes a look at federal politics from a progressive, grassroots perspective.
