- Really like it but can be too cynical or idealist
Like the title says, they present lots of useful information but their opinions are a bit one-sided. I wish they had someone who disagreed more with them or provided alternative views.

Canada7 months ago - Surprisingly entertaining!
Listing to tales of city politics and news could be a snorefest but not when you listen to this podcast!
I am now actually interested in what’s happening in my city after living in Edmonton for 40+ years!
Keep up the good work and I love the knowledge, wit and humour the hosts share with their listeners !
PS. glad you liked the monitor and the socks 🩷
Apple Podcasts5JoanneSwenCanada9 months ago - It’s a great podcast
Troy will be missed
Apple Podcasts5Gotta_wonderCanada10 months ago - Improving
Five stars for replacing the annoying one with a journalist.
Apple Podcasts5DWLNO60Canada10 months ago - Sad you let Troy leave
Pretty big fumble to let Troy even consider leaving. The podcast was successful because it was uniquely passionate, funny, and accurate, and this feels like some founders not understanding what has impact in the media and the city. No one wants a podcast that is a simple reporting of local facts, and no one wants the ai summary newsletters either.
You had an edge, and now that edge is going to go make triple figures somewhere that sees how well Troy has read the moment. I hope anyway.
