Welcome to UnSpun - your current events podcast and YouTube show.

Every week, Jody Vance and George Affleck unspin the latest news in local, provincial, and federal politics, and much more.

This week, George and Jody go full Kevin ... specifically and metaphorically. From BC United leader Kevin Falcon to other Kevins and other people who, when faced with personal brand and overall brand challenges, must decide if there is anything they can do to turn that brand frown upside down.

Of course, if you are a government, or governing body, clearly brand damage is not an issue because, if it were out of control, tax and fee increases that discourage building development would be something to care about. Clearly not in Burnaby, where a massive fee increase may cripple building and construction.

And in Surrey, the RCMP, which leads to George admitting something that pains him. What could it be? Tune in and find out on UnSpun with Jody Vance and George Affleck

This week, mergers and acquisitions in business are standard procedure. But in politics, it’s either a sign of desperation or a winning formula for electoral success. What will it be in BCPoli? With a mash up of BC United and BC Conservatives along with a dash of Mayor Brad West, the concoction is either madness or brilliance. Or just a bunch of BS.

Meanwhile, in Vancouver, Mayor Ken Sim makes a major flub in his leadership style and the “invisible” opposition that can be found on X are going to town on him. Election 2026 has begun.

Welcome to UnSpun, your current events podcast and YouTube show. Every week, Jody Vance and George Affleck unspin the latest news in local, provincial, federal politics, and much more.

This week, Jody and George speak about speakers and speaking about how the whole issue really speaks to the issue of ... oh ... politics. In Manitoba, new leadership might be a red flag for politicians who are choosing populism over pragmatism. Read the room, guys. The world is changing. Keep up. And in Vancouver, it’s three years before the next election, but signs of politicking have already begun. I guess it gives UnSpun lots to talk about.
