  • Amazing

    If I could rate The Secret Life of Canada 10/5 stars, I absolutely would. This podcast is not only incredibly informative, but it also manages to present complex and often uncomfortable parts of Canadian history in a way that is engaging, relatable, and far from bland. It strikes a perfect balance between serious education and dynamic storytelling, making history accessible to everyone.

    I strongly disagree with those who label this podcast as “juvenile.” That critique misses the mark entirely. ... more

  • Fun AND educational

    Being a downstairs neighbor to Canada, I have learned so much, not just about their history and culture but of our own.

    It has given me a new perspective to US history and has inspired me to learn more and seek more answers about the US.

    And that the Canadians really AREN’T nicer than Americans! 😳😱😆

  • Terrible podcast

    I now understand why people say “defund the CBC”. This podcast should be named “why I hate Canada and the people who made it”. What exactly is the point of even doing this podcast. So one sided.

    I agree with other reviews on how juvenile it is.

  • Forever excellent

    Extremely well researched and informative anticolonial stories with hosts that are a joy to listen to. Looking forward to more episodes on treaties and landclaims!
