  • Had so much potential

    Instead of taking this opportunity to present a fair viewpoint on the largest Canadian platform, they constantly take perspectives that demean half the population. I’m pretty left leaning, would never vote conservative, but I also respect others around me that do and am curious to hear their perspectives on the issues of the day.

    This podcast consistently interviews left leaning guests (US and Canada) critiquing the right wing perspectives, sometimes justly and other times unjustly imo. No iss... more

  • Please allow your guests to speak

    Interesting subjects, but the host talks too much and listens too little. Please study the best interviewers — they don’t feel the need to constantly prove how smart they are.

The O’Toole interview was abrasive and direct, ... more

  • hyper-bipartisan

    Listening to this podcast to get the latest news and thoughts on popular subjects continues to be a fruitless effort. The host should be asking more follow up questions and stop avoiding real important conversations, these failures allow narrow ideas and statements to just be excepted without challenge, leading to real partisan news coverage and a misinformed populace.
