“Jayme welcome back! Stick with what you do exceedingly well.
Your American politics programs were annoying. Canadas politics are innumerable.
What an excellent revealing show.
Much like Israel’s Pegasus spyware Lavender reveals true face of current regime. Nasty!

“This is the best ~30 minute news podcast I’ve listened to. The experts are excellent, and Jayme Poisson does a great job framing the issue and asking interesting questions. I recommend this to everyone.”

“It is truly appalling that the main voice given to the pro-Palestinian advocates during this episode is a Jewish rabbi. The intent if this calculated choice is to gaslight the Jewish voice and opinion. Why is it relevant that a Jewish person doesn’t agree that Jews feel threatened or that their...”Read full review »

“I am critical enough to cut through the politics of the CBC to make this podcast daily listening. What I can’t stand is how the CBC has allowed this amateur hack of a host,Jamie, to return to this podcast. She instantly cheapens the integrity and diminishes any credibility of this podcast OR the...”Read full review »

Some pieces of information that may be helpful to the two male hosts…. There is not a tween/teen girl that likes her body. We do not encourage girls with...”Read full review »

“As a kid who grew up in Northern Canada, listening to the CBC on an AM radio connected to a 12V battery for power, this organization has long lost its way, becoming a cliché, left-wing propaganda mouthpiece for the liberal party.
It no longer covers an objective view of EVERY story, nor does it...”Read full review »

“I’m constantly turning it up when the host speaks and turning it back down when the interviewer speaks. It’s really frustrating because I want to listen and I think the content is really good.
Please keep up the great work but consider this adjustment.”

“The male host has a voice that is so challenging to hear and understand, especially when his speech is lower at the end of his sentence. I can’t even hear his name when he introduces himself, is it Damien Farris? I don’t usually listen to his episodes because it can be frustrating.”

“Ths works when it covers Canada. Unfortunately the vast majority of the content is about the US, specifically Donald Trump, and the hosts and guests are not very well-versed in US issues. This problem has plagued the CBC for decades. Unfortunate.”

It is a shame but...”Read full review »

“I’ve been listening to Front Burner for years, but the recent reporting on the Israel-Hamas conflict is shamefully biased, and the last episode titled “The Ceasefire Debate” was the last straw for me.

“They’re a terrorist organization. That’s not an opinion - but a long standing North American established fact and they don’t state that out of the gate when educating Canadians about them. It’s almost celebrating them - just irresponsible reporting at a critical time.”

“Make one bad review about Daemon and his reporting on the Gaza Strip and my review gets deleted!!! I would expect that from US news outlets guess the CBC is no better!!! Wish Daemon would start asking people in the Gaza Strip hard questions and not just a soft toss questions to make Israel look bad.”
