For the pipeline & kids on social media & kids on AI they never ask & those people can’t influence the outcome.😭.

Canadaa month ago - Please, no gambling ads!
I like the show and listen to it daily. However, it is shameful that CBC is running gambling ads on this podcast. That is why the bad review. So ironically, I tuned in to listen to the latest on the restrictions on social media and AI for young people, and I was blasted with an ad for an online casino. These ads are fueling a public health crisis in gambling addiction. Our national broadcaster should not be promoting this harmful activity.

Wonderful to hear Canadian topics of such political significance. Not a great interviewer, however. I wish the host would ask better questions to its guests.

Japana month ago - Why so hostile with Wab Kinew?
Glad to hear Wab Kinew. Wish the interviewer was less hostile. I agree with other reviewers who say you don’t push back enough against misinformation (ie Israel’s nuclear weapons when they are committing genocide or right wing Americans). And only push when the guest is left of the Liberals.
Apple Podcasts1JulinetrouCanadaa month ago - Disappointment
I was very disappointed with how Jayme conducted the interview with Wab Kinew. She kept trying to stir up controversy and was constantly badgering the Premier to justify himself. She hasn’t done this other guests.
