Well made but one sided discussion
The show is essentially a platform for certain views and not a forum for discussion. It’s great to have a Canadian alternative to the glut of America-centric current events podcast (don’t get me wrong those are great too). However, biases are very prominent and show up frequently; the ‘opposing side’ gets far less airtime, the show usually only interviews people with opinions aligned with the show, the host does a good job in general but doesn’t challenge the interviewees enough.
