  • No longer listenable

    It's truly a shame something that was so innovative in the Canadian media landscape has turned into a complete lack of research, gaslighting, false pretexts, and abject racism towards indigenous voices and communities of colour.

  • Why are we talking about antisemitism in every episode

    I enjoyed this show but this guy is a big defender of the IOF during an ongoing genocide. No kids should be targeted but we all know that a lot of the teachings are pro Israel. An apartheid state. BYE

  • Jesse’s the only sane one

    The shows hosted by Jesse Brown are at least reasonable, But it seems like everyone he hires is a deranged lunatic with no commitment to journalism, just identity politics.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Governments Want to Ban Kids From AI and Social Media
Q: What do you think will be different about this new version of the online harms bill?
The core regulatory framework is expected to stay central—independent regulator with risk assessments, transparency, and takedown powers—while some hate-speech provisions and Human Rights Act changes may be removed or shifted into separate justice bills, with ongoing adjustments reflecting changes in government and tech landscape.
Could OpenAI Have Stopped Tumbler Ridge?
Q: How are you processing where the recent development fits into this larger conversation about AI safety and balancing privacy?
There's skepticism about relying on companies like OpenAI for safety, highlighting the need for significant regulation and transparency about reporting thresholds when it comes to AI and public safety.
Could OpenAI Have Stopped Tumbler Ridge?
Q: Should Canadians expect that our scoops will increasingly come from these US outlets?
Yes, the capacity for investigative reporting in US media often surpasses that of Canadian outlets, which has led to important stories breaking there first.
How Pierre Poilievre Became the Justin Trudeau of the Conservative Party
Q: Julian, what can you tell me about Pierre Poilievre's workout regimen?
His workout seems fairly normal, involving kettlebell exercises and a focus on fitness for the country's well-being, which he believes could help address issues like addiction and mental health.
The Bishnoi Gang’s Extortion Campaign in BC
Q: What do you think is the one thing that needs to change to actually get these extortion numbers down?
The first step is going to have to come from the community, as they need to demonstrate courage and solidarity against the extortion campaign.
