  • Stellar! 7 Stars!

    By far the best podcaster in Canada. I’ve downloaded every SNP podcast and attended the Cornerstone Event in 2025 and 2026. Awesome all around! Shaun must be a hard driven perfectionist considering his outcomes!

  • Shaun has developed a very interesting community of listeners as he interviews many expert guests on worldwide issues, and from time to time adding more local Canadian/Provincial issues.

    He has helped me add to my knowledge level on many issues and he continues to hone his skills, becoming a better interviewer as time goes on.

    He has created an annual physical event where many of his guests are invited to speak to the community that has been created.

    Worth a listen!

    Overall I like the guests, topics, hosts, content, everything. However in order to listen to this one must ffwd to minute 6 to avoid the most cringeworthy, repetitive and painful intro phase. It isn’t just the name dropping, the banter about the endless studio, it just stretches on into eternity every time, one has to wonder if the host actually listens to the show and endures the torment of his own 6 minutes. So 4 star, please drop that 6 and get right into it.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#1073 - Kevin Van Lagen
Q: What are your views on independence and the referendum, given your political involvement?
I support democracy and the ability for Albertans to decide their future through a referendum; regardless of the outcome, strong representation and sound governance for rural areas should be the goal.
#1073 - Kevin Van Lagen
Q: What is the core philosophy behind the Altario school program and its emphasis on community participation?
Lean into community expertise, involve families and local expertise in decision making, and ensure the school and the community are synonymous; this creates ownership, resilience, and sustainable growth.
#1073 - Kevin Van Lagen
Q: Why did you decide to pursue a career in education leadership and run for political office?
I believe in service, in shaping communities, and in giving families opportunities to thrive; leading by example in Altario showed me how rural issues need a strong local voice, which I want to bring to the provincial level.
#1076 - Premier Danielle Smith
Q: What is the exact question to be put on the referendum ballot?
The question is designed to determine whether Alberta should remain in Canada or begin the legal process to hold a binding provincial referendum on potential separation, with a mechanism to define what 'no' would entail.
#1077 - Tommy Carrigan
Q: What keeps you going through tough days or big changes in your life?
He emphasizes the power of consistency, fear of not trying, and the ongoing process of growth through challenging goals and the support of his audience.
