B.C. political veterans launch local government podcast
Two British Columbia political veterans, Brian Frenkel and Arjun Singh, have launched a YouTube podcast titled ‘Day to Day Democracy’ to educate the public on municipal governance.
Frenkel, a long-time Vanderhoof councillor, and Singh, a former Kamloops councillor, both previously served as presidents of the Union of B.C. Municipalities. The podcast aims to provide a resource for voters and potential candidates ahead of the October 17 local elections, focusing on the practicalities of local office rather than partisan politics.
Since its debut in February 2026, the show has released over 18 episodes, including interviews with various mayors, MLAs, and provincial ministers. The discussions cover the complexities of sitting on local councils, regional district boards, and school boards.
