  • Inconsistent

    I love the podcast, it’s the perfect length to get the highlights and stay in the know, but the uploads are so inconsistent. Why do they sometimes go 4 days without updating??? Also TURN DOWN THE VOLUME FOR ADS!!!! They’re 10x louder than the actual podcast and blast my ears every single time

    Newscasts sound like they’re broadcast through a metal pipe. It appears my previous review, amended each time a show had audio issues, was deleted. Shows with issues:

    I love the podcast, it’s the perfect length to get the highlights and stay in the know, but the uploads are so inconsistent. Why do they sometimes go 4 days without updating??? There’s also no alternative to get Canadian news in podcast form

  • Commercial Placement

    I really enjoy this podcast. I no longer live in Canada and this podcast does a good job at keeping me in the loop. My only complaint is the commercials are so poorly placed. Often playing them right in the middle of a sentence in the middle of a story. Producer needs to do a better job at placing those between stories. Also, they are so much louder than the rest of the podcast. Other than that keep up the good work.
