Welcome to CanCon!
From (most of) the team that brought you Elbows Up, comes a show dedicated to telling Canadian stories, rather than focusing our energy on the rhetoric of our neighbours. These are conversations about who we are, how we got here, ... more
This summer, given ... everything going on down there, Canadians are more interested in exploring their own backyard than traveling to the United States. And since we've spent four months exploring everything about this country we need to fix, we wan... more

United States8 months ago - Missed the mark on Kevin O’Leary
I really wanted to love this podcast because I’m a big fan of Laura’s podcasts and, of course, Canadian sovereignty. But I was really put off by the second episode where the American media was eviscerated (rightly so) for using Kevin O’Leary as a spokesperson without mentioning that CBC’s Cross Country Check Up had done the same thing weeks before. There was a huge outcry over this at the time so it seems unlikely the hosts were unaware. I love the CBC but they are not sacred and should be criti... more
Apple Podcasts3Geraint564Canada8 months ago - Just what I need
Like so many others, I’m holding my elbows up, and love the way important topics are discussed in an affable yet fact checked way. A better understanding of what matters in Canada, what the issues are, and how things work.
Apple Podcasts5Qualicum girlCanada8 months ago - Really enjoy the show, with one exception
I loved listening to Jordan on The Big Story and I’m excited there’s a new Canadian podcast for me to listen to! I find it optimistic, rational and often informative especially on topics that many Canadians don’t know much about.

I find that in general when you do include a guest from a different province or a topi... more
