I have been a fan for over a year but can no longer listen because I find the background music so annoying and distracting. I’m sure I’m not alone.

I gave it a try after reading the reviews and I agree that the music doesn’t add it distracts. Too bad he has a nice voice and speaks well.

Great podcast, love the stories, so many I have lived through. But need more NL and east coast stories. There is lots of history and lots of accounts of fascinating stories.

Interesting subject matter. I love learning Canadian history but that background fiddle needs to go. Please remember that some of us listen directly in our ears. 😊
Elsiecanada via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/22/23
Very well researched and presented. I do wish you would rethink the music though. I found it quite intrusive and am not sure that it adds anything to the presentation. Apart from that, thanks for the good work!
mission Six via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/21/23
Episodes are perfect length. Great way to learn about lots of less common Canadian history events.
Rebecca mac via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/12/23
The fiddle music is way too loud to be able to calmly focus on the narrator. Maybe it’s just me (I’m ND). I really wanted to listen but just couldn’t relax with the two competing sounds.
bis416 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/10/23
Some really interesting well researched stories about Canada, good production quality and well presented. Would recommend.
Foon fan via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/05/23
Love the podcast - great content and well put together. But PLEASE pronounce Fraser correctly when speaker of the River in BC - it’s Fra-zer NOT Frasier!!
Cms111 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 06/04/23
Very well presented with a pleasant voice and nice fast pace. Lots of very interesting details about Bethune that even a well-read person might not know about. Enjoyable!

Craig does a nice job of compiling information from various sources. He streamlines the info in a very satisfying manner that keeps the listener eagerly waiting for his next gem.

Great podcast by Craig Baird . It would be interesting to learn more about the history of the early Welland canal , the Carter family of Port Colborne and the events leading up to the Fenian uprising battle of Ridgeway during post Civil War period and its effects on promoting Confederation of...Read full review »

lady of the see via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/31/23
I haven’t come across a ton of shows that cover Canadian history specifically so really appreciate this one. The host Craig Baird is super passionate about the topics covered and it really shows through in the episodes. He’s also a great follow on Twitter, consistently putting out interesting...Read full review »

I highly recommend this podcast for anyone with an interest in Canadian history. It’s obvious that Craig puts a lot of effort into research for his shows. There are some podcasts that feel like a spoken version of the Wikipedia page, but this is far from that. I find myself always learning...Read full review »

Started hearing his podcast about six months ago. Grateful he does a short segment with us once a week on my radio show But not as good as his insight into Canadian history. Brilliant

Thank you thank you thank you for making Canadian History entertaining and interesting. I found it difficult to follow history in school, so this is a fantastic way to learn (re-learn) Canadian history. Keep up the good work!
Poveez via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 11/24/22
The narrator tells a great story and keeps my long work days ploughing snow much more interesting. AM Talk radio political topics have become to divisive to listen to anymore. I’ve learned so much about our history. Thanks for the great show.
Mike from Keswick via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 11/18/22
This was an interesting show despite the host being a little bland. Unfortunately, what used to be forgivable Wikipedia reading has turned into a glut of advertisements—three in a 20 minute episode—on top of full minutes dedicated to please for patronage. I get that there are people who podcast...Read full review »

rileyj1234123 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 04/06/22
A brilliant podcast, I love the topics Bairdo talks about and the fascinating little details he finds in the history. One of the hardest working persons in podcasting and we all reap the rewards.
darren1495 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 02/26/22
All of Craig’s podcasts are wonderful . I wish I learned this in school . But it’s never to late to keep learning. That’s why I love this so much Thanks for all your hard work Craig

Really enjoy the podcast and the quirky facts that are found, fun. Love the audio clips that get put in too, really brings the history alive!
Pastorash via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 10/11/21
I have been a follower, fan, and patron of Craig Baird for about a year to a year and a half now. This podcast as well as his other’s should be essential learning for all North Americans.

I really enjoy listening to Craig Baird telling stories from Canadian history, learning about individual people’s stories and those of communities across the country. He has a voice that is easy to listen to and has produced an amazing amount of content.

Research ✅ Great story telling? You betcha! Take the time to get to know some fascinating history. Craig does a wonderful job of diving into some fascinating subject matter. And as someone very unfamiliar with Canadian history - I appreciate it! Subscribe today! Alycia, host of Civics & Coffee

Craig absolutely knocks it out if the park every time! Great content, not just for Canadians, but like, also for everyone.
likely a phantom via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/28/21
I really love the content of the show , however the music in the background is not my favourite. I find it is distracting. I wish you would either “ turn it down” or replace it all together. Otherwise the show is great.
shelslinde via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/27/21
I listened to Craig interview these two great young podcasters. The excellent questions Craig asked really gave me new insight to “Just Watch Me”. Can’t wait to hear more from Craig, Liv and Kate!
Just Listen to Them via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/24/21
I started listening to this podcast at the onset of the pandemic. He is very informative and I like the diversity of podcast topics! This is a must listen for all Canadians! Thank you for doing this and sharing your knowledge with us!
Panamika via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 11/29/20
As a Canadian who knew more about world history than the things that happened in my back yard, this has been a great podcast. I’m glad I’m now getting exposed to my local history.
Spencer MX via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 11/13/20
This show offers great glimpses into moments of history that are really interesting, but might not have all made it into your history textbook. Especially interesting to this American curious about our northern neighbor.
