It's a new era for Real Talk! The first show from our new location features Alberta Premier-designate Danielle Smith, who joins us in studio just a couple hours before her swearing-in ceremony.

4:07 | What is Premier-designate Danielle Smith's first order of business once she swears in? What's her message to Albertans who say she's not yet earned a mandate to govern? What did she say to Prime Minister Trudeau during their first official phone call? Why won't she seek the open seat in Calgary-Elbow? Will she unblock people on Twitter, now that she'll be leading Alberta's government? We cover a lot of ground in our first interview since Smith's UCP leadership victory.

42:43 | Huupe is the world's first "smart" basketball hoop, and it's transforming how people play one of the most popular sports on the planet. The technological innovations and interpersonal implications place Huupe in the spotlight of this week's The Leading Edge presented by Leading Edge Physiotherapy.

55:51 | If you've heard Brandi Morin on Real Talk before, you know she's a force of nature. The journalist (and member of our Real Talk Editorial Board) was in New York City over the weekend accepting an Edward R. Murrow Award for her six-part Al Jazeera series on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. We're proud to feature Brandi in this week's edition of Positive Reflections presented by Kuby Renewable Energy.
