- Shame it was cancelled
It was an excellent podcast. Too bad it was cancelled, but it was lost after the departure of EG.

I am surprised that Staples has not joined the UCP in some capacity. He is a biased climate denier in my opinion and a believer in trickle down economics.

Apple Podcasts5FJ507Canada6 years ago - Journalists have human emotions, who knew.
Local journalists give analysis of Provincial politics and its very interesting, and even includes charming banter. Not just worth a listen; A must listen.
Apple Podcasts5ThePunterCanada7 years ago - Essential Content
I’m touring musician and a courier at home so drive a lot and listen to a ton of podcasts. This is the only good podcast covering Alberta politics. I never miss an episode but there are still areas for improvement and one irksome issue. To improve: audio compression and mastering could sound sound better. Squash it! Irksome: the main hosts comments often go over the line from a nice personal touch to obnoxious like interrupting her guests with random/irrelevant reactions. For instance in a rec... more
Apple Podcasts4jennipleaseCanada7 years ago - Cheers to Em & gang
Trying to get more aware of Ab politics? Then I believe you should sign up to Em & the gang for your weekly dose of education. Don’t always agree with their take on things but it gives you a fairly comprehensive overview of the issues. Dare to mention the oft maligned phrase “fair & balanced” ??? Closer than Fox News’ usage for sure! Hmmm damning with faint praise - naw! Give it a listen judge for yourself you might even learn a second language, g’day mate
Apple Podcasts4Peter WatkinsCanada7 years ago - Great job!
I really appreciate the way that all of the journalists seem be willing to call the politicians on their foolishness and point out the good things that they do. I also appreciate Emma’s desire to educate us in speaking fluent Australian. They do a good job of making politics interesting and maybe even a little fun.
Apple Podcasts5Katcam73Canada7 years ago - Fun and clever!
Discussing serious political issues without taking themselves too seriously. The best!
Apple Podcasts5DRSFBLADECanada7 years ago - Favourite podcast

Apple Podcasts5Mike in CGYCanada7 years ago - Great podcast!
Not your average political panel - the journalists on this podcast give you the analysis you need while keeping things entertaining!!! Great podcast for politics nerds, or any Albertans or Alberta fans who want to keep up with what’s going on in the province’s politics.
