Curse of Politics
Air Quotes MediaPolitics. 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.

- Kitchen Table Politics
I am so thankful that this trio remains authentic. I love this carnival of punditry. Sometimes I talk back while I'm listening... disconcerting certainly, but that is how comfortable I'm with them. I am not a political wanna be. I am a citizen that wants to be informed. I want to challenge my perceptions about the political landscape. Thank you for making me think.

Canada15 days ago - Empty Calories
The show has become formulaic: Praise Carney, beat a dead horse (PP), then valourize some behind the scene staffer.
The commentary is weak and uninformed — aimed to please a certain demo — not to be interesting or challenging
Apple Podcasts1TheBezzCanada16 days ago - David ❤️ Gord Pinsent
Herle’s unwavering devotion to the late Canadian actor I’d never heard of until I listen to this show never fails to warm the cockles of my heart.
Apple Podcasts5Some Stephen jonesCanada19 days ago - Must listen
Herle pries insightful, prescient thoughts out of his esteemed panelists: not the recycled talking points and stale analysis you'll hear elsewhere. If you're into the game of politics, the subtle tactics and grand strategy at play are unpacked with refreshing candor. You'll learn something no matter your political leanings.
Apple Podcasts5NimblefingeredninjaCanada19 days ago - Keep it classy, folks.
I had thought this to be the best Canadian political podcast but I am disappointed now. I don’t mind spicy language but the chatter on penile implants and character assassinations of fellow Canadian commentators (ie from the Hub podcast) is uncalled for. You can do better.
