  • Vassy is good; content is fine — but…

    … the audio is horrible. It sounds like interviews are conducted in a cold steel culvert under the 401 on a holiday weekend.

    Still a problem as of Ep#497. Time for a staff change?

  • Please fire the audio engineer.

    Laughable audio production from a “professional” news outlet. Sounds like some funky compression was done on the audio file. Amateur YouTubers sound 1000x better than this on a shoestring budget.

    (The show itself, in terms of content, is excellent.)

  • Brutal

    What a horrible one sided liberal rub and tug session. The host and contributor to this show should pull their head out of the sand and actually get a feel for how screwed up Canada is. Vassy is a huge Liberal apologist and is totally out of touch.
