  • 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!

  • Real discussion, really important

    In the current political atmosphere swirling with confusion, it is great to have someone discussing things from an objective point of view, using real facts, looking at all sides of the issues. Ryan does this quite well, and helps me stay informed on Alberta‘s current Issues. He also makes maplemagats cry, and that’s worth a smile

  • The other side of the story

    It’s lovely to have a particular media source give the other side of the stories in Canada. Our public media is one-sided and controlled by political sources. As a result, we only hear what they want us to hear, that is not the full truths, only half truths. It’s nice to listen to conservative thoughts too so we can have full, frank, and fair information by both sources.
