The Mike Smyth Show

If you really want to know what is going on in British Columbia, you better be listening to The Mike Smyth Show (Monday to Friday: 9am – 12pm). As the only daily radio show broadcasting from B.C.’s Legislative Assembly in Victoria, Smyth’s access to our leaders and lawmakers is unparalleled as he fearlessly asks the tough questions and holds them to account. Always a step ahead, Mike Smyth’s two decades as a no-nonsense newspaper columnist gives him a distinct edge that guarantees the show is insightful, informative, and insurgent. From breaking news and developing stories to not letting yesterday’s headlines slip away without a second glance and a bit more scrutiny, The Mike Smyth Show keeps you dialed in and up to date.
