Neighbourly launches its first conversation with hosts Johan Heinrichs and Shannon Steeves, explaining the shift from “Journey With Care” to a new focus on everyday community stories. Shannon shares her heart for building bridges in Winnipeg and why listening to ordinary people matters. The team outlines how listeners can expect a mix of in-depth interviews and quick “Neighbourly Headlines” featuring positive Canadian news. Real-life accounts, from waiting to deliver groceries to single moms to participating in a Cost of Poverty experience, reveal the sometimes-messy but always powerful impact of patient, neighbourly love.
