The Briefing Note is the new name of what used to be known as Ellected.

What to expect? Lots more shorter podcasts on politics and culture and the intersection of politics on culture and vice versa. But don't worry, the longer conversations that you know and love aren't going anywhere. They are going to be interspersed with the shorter podcasts.

You can now find The Briefing Note in the same places as before under its new name and on Instagram, Facebook and X as @TheBriefingNotePodcast.

We've heard so much about Tim and Gwen Walz but do the stories match the reality? Incredibly, they are even more amazing than what we hear. Amanda Hinkle was taught by both Tim Walz and Gwen Walz at Mankato West High School in Minnesota and shares what it was like being in the classroom with each of them in the newest episode of Ellected.

In a very special episode, Ellected's host Sarah Elder sits down with Her Excellency Mary Simon, Canada's Governor General, on the 95th anniversary of Persons Day in Canada.

On October 18, 1929, Canada's highest court of appeal recognized women as 'persons' and granted them the right to be appointed to the Senate. The Governor General and Sarah discuss the day, the awards presented today in honour of Persons Day, what the day means to the Governor General, a discussion about where and what Canadian women must still accomplish as well as a frank conversation about the online abuse Her Excellency has received and how both she and Sarah deal with it. The episode ends with some advice from the Governor General for any woman considering public service.
