    Steve and JMM make a great duo! There is timely commentary on current events, presented in an easy to understand way, even for those who don’t know much about politics. For political nerds, Steve always has fun historical facts and insights from his long career. This show is a gem and I always appreciate listening or watching the YouTube video.

  • One of The Absolute Best

    I find your podcast so incredibly engaging. It’s current, with the perfect amount of historical content; it’s thoughtful, deep and light all at the same time. I very much agree with the last reviewer who said that it is honest. 100%!!!

    I really appreciate the level of curiosity that is brought into the conversation, with a natural wittiness and real “level headedness” and content that greatly matters if you live in or near Ontario :)

    Thank you - Love you two!
