  • JESPO FOR PREMIER

    Ryan, I truly hope you consider running for office one day. You are smart, thoughtful, level-headed, and deeply passionate—not only about Alberta, but about people. We need more leaders like you in politics to balance out the egomaniacs who chase office for power, ideology, money, or self-interest.

  • Asks the Questions, and Loves Alberta

    As a farmer and a teacher I love this show. I have been listening to Ryan’s Podcast the last few years, and the quality of guests and the probing questions he presents to them is what helps keep me informed about Alberta and issues that need to be talked about. Only comment is I feel his voice is a little too much “radio guy”, but his brain and heart make up for that!
