  • Very blunt and forthright, won’t be for everyone

    David certainly doesn’t mince his words. And in a world where we seem to be ruled by sentimentality. Some may find the approach too blunt, but for me it’s refreshing. Nice to know also that you’re not the only believer who feels alienated by our crazy relativistic culture

  • My fav podcast

    When I first discovered the Wee Flea podcast, it felt like a safe, reasonably presented, non extremist,

    biblically sound, refreshingly engaging podcast. It has not disappointed! Between great music, current issues, Christian perspective, and a calming voice, I’ve become a big fan in BC’s Fraser Valley!

  • One of my favourite podcasts

    Quantum is always intelligent, interesting and thought-provoking. I’m David Robertson‘s age, and I wish I had his energy!

    I listen for the words, not the songs he plays at intervals – I could do with fewer of those. I have to fast forward through most of them. But overall, it’s great. Please keep going, David.
