In journalism, a "placeline" is the location given at the start of a story which indicates where the story originated – in this case, Hamilton. Each week, the Placeline Hamilton podcast will bring you all the latest news from around Hamilton and area – everything from council to crime and entertainment to sports – and things of interest to Hamiltonians. Hosted by Spectator columnist Scott Radley, it will be a deep dive into the week’s most interesting developments, and bring you exclusive interviews with experts from The Spectator and across the city.
