Canada2 months ago - Great pod, need more questions of Jason
Love the show especially the local politics focus. I want to say I love the Jason Proctor stories too, but they are rather complicated and the listener would greatly benefit from Stephen chiming in with questions and the odd mini-explanation. The VPD one in particular had me lost pretty quickly

Apple Podcasts5NflandCanadaa year ago - Not catching my attention
I really want to love this podcast but despite listening to multiple episodes, I am having a hard time engaging with it. Not sure, if it’s the host, interviewees or the subject, it’s very blah to me. Average at best
