  • Rude and Disrespectful to the women on the show.

    This podcast makes me crazy. The guys on this podcast never let Emily speak! They interrupt her, talk over her, make fun of what she is doing. It is completely rude and a horrible example of respect for women. I would expect more from a “Christian” podcast.

  • Tried again. Nope.

    I was getting tired of the anti-Canada rhetoric, so I stopped listening for a while. Ironically, I came back to try again and Jesse and Cameron make overt statement about their disdain for Canada. Cool guys. Did I mention Cameron also ironically did an ad read for how to be a good neighbour? Awkward.

  • Why I Stopped Listening

    I’ve been an avid listener since the early Adam Smith days, but unfortunately, I never took the time to write a review until now. A couple of months ago, I made the difficult decision to stop listening to the podcast. When a prominent Christian thought leader was murdered for engaging in open debate, the podcast didn’t acknowledge the significance of the event—apparently because it was viewed as a political issue. Maybe that has changed since then; I wouldn’t know.

    It might sound silly, but aft... more
