  • Good reporting however

    I have been listening to TNTC for years and they are generally great but nowadays there is way too much content behind a paywall. Even compared with other podcasts of varying levels of independence vs in podcast production companies, it’s over the top.

  • Terrible ads

    I used to like this show but the ads have ruined it. You know that Saltspring has an affordable housing crisis directly related to short term rentals. Taking money from Airbnb and Cozey - no more support from me
