I enjoy the calm, rational nature of the discussion from informed individuals.
Very moving
So great to hear your voice again. I haven’t heard it since you left the National. You’ve got the best political podcast out there hands down. I actually listen. Sometimes to the same podcast a few times as there’s depth to what’s being discussed . It feels like a refreshing breeze that runs through what’s become a turbid political landscape.
A nice alternative to the traditional news. It’s also nice to hear both sides.
Great discussion on current political events in Canada. Peter is a fantastic host, Insights from Janice are unique and Chantelle always has great insight. Rarely miss it
