    Good job, Craig! I thought the Prince episode was really well done. In general though, everything you do here is solid gold. Thanks for being such a strong, positive voice for Canada.

    While listening to the 2020 episode on Canadian slavery, I was also reading the Wikipedia page on the same topic. Craig was just repeating the wiki page word for word.

  • Need more NL documentaries

    Post note: since writing this review I have lowered my star rating because the ads are too long now and too frequent. I not sure I will keep listening due to long ads for AirBNB and Better Health….

    -Great podcast, love the stories, so many I have lived through. But need more NL and east coast stories. There is lots of history and lots of accounts of fascinating stories.
