  • Awesome podcast

    I make it habit of trying to catch this podcast on CBC Radio early Sunday mornings. Very insightful yet not overwhelming with what’s happening in the world now. A must listen…

  • Hello

    Hello

    I am listening from west coast Vancouver Island.

    I used to listen late at night on CBC when I was not sleeping, then I retired (and sleep better) and found you as a pod cast. Love your podcast, very interesting. I love your comments, snorts, outrage and laughter. It makes me feel like we’re all talking together.

    Don’t change ! Your personal insights are interesting and helpful.
