  • Lack of podcasts disappointing!

    Why does this podcast continue to advertise on other podcasts if it doesn’t come out with new material. 1 1/2 months of material not enough to keep one interested. Only rating as a 3 due to lack of new material.

  • Less powder

    The anxiety inducing music and his hyper-excited speech makes it impossible to follow. If he thinks this two items make Canada’s history a hot topic he is wrong.
