Question everything, and don't trust a host who appears to worship their guests (yes, getting the NS premier on a podcast is a real 'get', but this is not journalism- it's punditry)
This is a great podcast! Love hearing from Atlantic Canadian business and academic leaders. Very informative. Well done, folks!
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.
Enjoying the show but on the recent Rob Steele show the sound was horrible. Don sounds like he’s recording from a closet.
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.
