This is a working name for this new show, and every aspect of it is liable to revision. But coming off a heavily-polled provincial election here in Nova Scotia, we figured to not let perfect be enemy of action, and we are putting this out in the world for you today.
A little bit of context: MQO released two polls for yesterday’s election during the writ period, and we were one of seven polling firms to release a poll within a week from election day.
This first (pilot) episode is an audio journal recorded in real-time, with Brenden giving his thoughts on the polls and the election results as they came in last night. You’ll hear him before results began to be reported, during, and after. Stick to the end to hear how our poll fared.
