  • Nectar for the Manitoba Diaspora

    I came across this pod over the summer and it was just what I needed to keep up with the issues facing Manitobans in the most important provincial election in a generation. A thoughtful mix of humor and insight with a dash of Keystone prairie charm. Thank you gentlemen and keep up the great work. You’ve got another regular listener here!

  • Two of the most racist commentators you’ll find currently

    Somewhat embarrassing that these two are what the free press chooses to showcase. So many list the two of them as the reason they canceled their subscription.
