- Happy to have House Party Back!
Was so excited to see House Party reappear in my feed this week. I really enjoyed listening to the coverage of the previous federal election getting not just an Ottawa perspective, but also a voice from Quebec and a voice from the West. I really appreciate hearing about how things are being received/viewed outside of Ontario. Hope you stick around for the whole year and beyond! Maybe add a Maritime voice?

I have been a fan of this podcast by accident. I was listening to the cousin podcast House Party (ABSOLUTELY THE BEST PODCAST in my opinion) and crossed this. The two together can give a great understanding of our country and what we are facing. Catherine Cullen is a fantastic host that is pleasant to listen to gets answers that I am searching for. I love the House and will continue to listen to it. But make an old man really happy! Bring back the House Party too. Two great podcasts? Side by sid... more

I always love this show as it provides a good overview of politics that week, but also complements Power and Politics if you listen to that too.
Please keep House Party going! It could stay a separate podcast or be incorporated as a standing panel on the show. The co-hosts from CBC Alberta and Radio-Canada really add some interesting perspectives and avoid the “Ottawa bubble”. Would love to see House Party have guests from other regions (BC, North, Atlantic) when it is applicable.

Really like the shorter versions of this podcast as sometimes I don’t have an hour. Also like hearing opinions from all sides so please bring house party back when parliament returns.
