  • Julia Wong involuntary treatment episode

    This episode was quite well done and did address the fact that there is scant evidence for involuntary treatment.

  • More progressive spin from the CBC.

    Given that there are so few podcast based on local events and news in the city of Edmonton, I was really hoping that the CBC would put this together to talk a truely Edmonton perspective. I was hoping for a balanced nutral perspective from all sides. However, this is just another left leaning progressive outlet with a narrative to spout. The CBC should explore the need for balanced content as a main stream news outlet. There are already too many versions of this podcast.
