  • Mixed bag.

    Decent on defence and IR stuff; energy stuff has to be taken with a grain of salt—still a bit stuck in the past there.

  • Building in the High Arctic

    Dave Perry is so good. A national treasure. This information on the High Arctic should be invaluable for future DND programs. The Canadian public needs to know the scope and challenges in order to induce private capital.

  • Great content, poor audio production

    I so badly want to love this pod but the audio quality is so poor (always super low volume, have to crank it way up, the "s"s are harsh and tinny, guests are often even quieter and scratchy) that I often give up 1/3 of the way through.
