  • Great content, poor sound, and a topic suggestion

    I really enjoy this show, it certainly lives up to the name. While the content is high quality, the sound often is not, so I docked a star for that. The loud intro music to sudden changes in speaker volume can be annoying.

    I would like to suggest a show topic. 2024 marks 10 years since the Now or Never report in NS was published. Perhaps a show revisiting this and what progress has been made on the report's recommendations.

    Keep up the great work.

  • Great show but sound is bad

    Enjoying the show but on the recent Rob Steele show the sound was horrible. Don sounds like he’s recording from a closet.

  • Audio

    The opening audio was extremely loud compared to speakers. Some speakers are loud, some are soft. I wish your producer would fix this issue, and I would certainly give you a five star since I love the programming.

  • True local insights

    Really enjoy the insightful local content. I especially enjoyed your January 18th edition which featured a broad-ranging conversation about the year in review. Intelligent discussion about some of the challenges and opportunities we are seeing in our region including labour shortages, population growth and opportunities in the SMR space. I hope policy makers are listening!
