Radio Free Arthur S2E12: Two-and-a-Budget Days Later

Radio Free Arthur S2E12: Two-and-a-Budget Days Later

Author: Arthur Newspaper November 20, 2024 Duration: 1:00:00

Attention listeners of Radio Free Arthur: we, the editors of Arthur, are proud to announce that we have single-handedly solved the 2025 Draft Budget.

Every cut you personally disagreed with has been reversed, and everything you thought was a waste of money has been axed.

Speaking of wastes of money, friend of the show Taylor Swift is in Toronto. We don't have tickets and are not at all bitter.

While we may not have an eras tour to call our own, what we do have is a night of glitz and glamour in the form of our Annual General Meeting, TONIGHT at 5:00 PM in the John.

Be there or be a conscientious objector!

In other matters, Evan turns the subject of her ire to Large Language Models and AI, and the City's decision to spend $20,000 on Microsoft CoPilot.

Speaking of things which are allegedly products of systemic plagiarism, our City Hall Bingo is the talk of the town!

Finally, Evan speaks to today's status as Trans Day of Remembrance in what could be characterized as "a jarring shift in tone" for this comedic current affairs program.

As we like to say, "It's been a week."
