Trent Radio & Arthur made a radio project together with the hope of building some audible history of past Arthur editors and contributors.

We asked participants to answer a series of questions and choose their favourite (or most memorable) article or editorial from their time at Arthur.

Listen here to take a deep dive into the past of the campus news curiosity that is Arthur Newspaper.


Tune in to Arthur Newspaper for a direct line to the heartbeat of Peterborough and the Trent University community. This isn't a distant news report; it's a conversation happening right where you live and study. Each episode digs into the local stories that matter, offering sharp commentary and analysis you won't find anywhere else. We move seamlessly from downtown developments to campus life, tackling the real issues and conversations that define the unique, sometimes complicated, relationship between city and university. You'll hear voices from across the community, thoughtful critiques of local media, and essential updates that keep you informed. The Arthur Newspaper podcast serves as an audio companion to our long-standing publication, deepening the dialogue with every episode. It’s for anyone invested in this place-whether you're navigating student life, engaged in local politics, or simply curious about where "Ptbo-Nogo" is headed next. Join us for a genuine, ground-level perspective on the news and culture shaping our shared environment.
