  • Fascinating and quite different perspectives on world issues

    It’s too easy to get immersed in how issues are perceived in Canada and the USA. This show always gets me out of my news bubble with different perspectives and great analysis. Absolutely my best source for understanding the world from outside my borders, especially in Europe and the USA.

  • Informative perspectives and fantastically entertaining

    One of my favorite podcasts for analysis of current events; cramped with stats and information the news forgotten to cover, satir and new perspectives to what is really happening in the world... and how we can make it a better one.
