CBC Calgary has launched a weekly political podcast called West of Centre which explores the voice, experience and misunderstanding of the western part of the country, Alberta in particular. Hosted by Kathleen Petty, West of Centre offers a unique insight and exploration of western values, views, hopes and ambitions in a time of national discontent. It is a vehicle for debate within the west, and with those outside of it.

West of Centre seeks not to polarize, but rather to amplify the voices of Western Canadians who feel marginalized socially, economically and politically within a broader Canadian conversation.
