  • Ah!

    Ah, what a breathe of fresh air Alex is! So much left wing bias in the media and it’s great to have people like Pierson, Agar and Mulroney to give us the right side of the story.

  • No longer 5 stars

    Once upon a time I would have given this podcast 5 stars .. I can’t do that anymore. Somewhere along the way a decision has been made to shove Dawna Friesen into my podcast feed as well. I never asked for this, I don’t want it and I cannot find a way to turn it off. So for now I have unsubscribed from the Pierson show and just come back for Tom Korski on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
