In cities and towns across Ontario (and at Queen’s Park and Parliament Hill) our journalists work for you. Their mission is to dig for answers and tell you what they find.

This daily podcast — Closer Look — is all about the stories we tell.

Launched in September, our mission is to go beyond the headlines with in-depth, eye-opening conversations featuring Village Media reporters and editors, leading experts, key stakeholders and major newsmakers.

Tonight, as we begin a two-week break for the holidays, hosts Michael Friscolanti and Scott Sexsmith look back at the wide range of stories that we featured on our new podcast. They also look ahead at what's shaping up to be a huge year for Village Media, the publisher that operates this local news site.

Frisco and Scott will be back with fresh episodes starting Monday Jan. 5, 2026. In the meantime, we want to express our sincerest thanks to everyone who has tuned in, either here on your local news source or wherever you find your favourite podcasts.

See you next year!
