Today (November 1st) is All Saints' Day, meaning Saturday is All Souls Day... or Day of the Dead for people from Mexico where it's a celebration of those who've departed. We hear from a local woman from Mexico about what the day means for her and her family. (Krissy Holmes with Claudia Fimbres)

In the next year, we'll see candidates from all political stripes step forward to run in federal, provincial and municipal elections. One group is hoping at least half of them will be women or gender diverse candidates. We talk about the work being done to increase gender parity in politics with two guests: A Mount Pearl councillor who's also on a sub-committee of Municipalities Newfoundland and Labrador called the Caucus for Women and Gender Diverse Individuals, and with a member of an organization called Equal Voice that promotes women and gender diversity in all levels of politics. (Krissy Holmes with Isabelle Fry and Kate Cadigan)

Country, pop, folk or rock. Whatever your preference is... there's a Songwriters Circle coming up Saturday that will cover all the bases. Three of the singer-songwriters involved in the event taking place at the Quidi Vidi Brewery drop by the On The Go studio for a chat. (Krissy Holmes with Justin Fancy, Rachel Cousins and Darcy Scott)
