Politics. It’s a blessing and a curse. On good days, it’s about your friends in the foxhole with you. On bad ones, it’s the mountain of votes that went the other way. Either way, it pulls you back in, again, and again, and a f**king again. Like I said: A. Goddamn. Curse.

I love this podcast. I wait every week checking frantically for the newest episode. BUT THE ADS ARE UNBEARABLE. They interrupt all flow in the conversation and are a random length that is hard to skip. Please, for the love of god, at least introduce a subscriber offer where I can pay to not hear anything else about how Telus is seeking to screw me over or anything else from Unsmoke Canada about how totally cool vaping is.

Not good. Quite biased.
Need Kory there to keep you “Centered”. Political feedback too left. I do like Scott Reid’s sense of humour, but he is a scuff.
This podcast is what happens when you take 15min of decent political commentary, chop it up with 30min worth of ads, and don’t even bother with an audio bumper to differentiate the two. It’s like the producers have never listened to a podcast before.
