Nasty, feelings-driven, no-information previous review. What is the point of having a Comments section anyway? Me: Host is excellent. Thoughtful and informed.
The podcast is OK sometimes, but the host is just meh. I want high-quality CBC journalism, and staples like “The World This Hour” and “The National” deliver the facts. But when it comes to this podcast, I find myself continually looking for other sources, such as the BBC.
In these turbulent times I’ve come to rely on this podcast for great interviews that shed light on what is actually happening in this heated political climate.

Great to see a current affairs pod seeking the historical context. Well done. Be great to see The Front Burner expand the time slot. Keep going, Jayme!
