Radio Free Arthur - Episode 22 - This is How You Lose the Pickleball War

Author: Arthur Newspaper April 8, 2024 Duration: 59:59

After a week away, the editors return with the story of the century: Pickleball is back in the hearts and minds of Peterborans, and it's heating things up at City Hall!

During a heated discussion at April 2nd's General Committee, Mayor Jeff Leal had some choice words for Councillor Alex Bierk—mostly to do with how exactly Leal would prepare him were Bierk a Thanksgiving Dinner (the fact that Easter was the more recent turkey-related holiday is not lost on the editors).

Also, Evan fills her colleagues in on the TCSA's latest election-related antics.

What fun.
