“In a time where we can barely hold onto to a thought thanks to social media, Ideas from CBC provides the listener the means to dive deep into a topic and learn, really learn about just about, well anything. Another top notch show from the best national broadcaster in the world.”

“The title of this show is perfect. I’ve been listening to it for over a decade. It’s openness to new ways of viewing so many subjects from science, humanities, politics, society and humanity is a breath of fresh air.
I’m sorry there are a few trolls writing disparaging reviews. Subversion does...”Read full review »

“We all wish this program, and indeed all of CBC, would feature women as much as it does men.
Women have always accomplished just as much as men.
It is a myth that women haven’t. A myth created by…guess which gender…men.”

“Tomson Highway on sex through an indigenous peoples’ lens is brilliant and learned, original, and FUNNY. How can someone impart so much knowledge, teach a lesson on tolerance and entertain at the same time? Loved it”

“Ideas has always been a favourite show of mine. But why is it, that it doesn’t seem to live up to its reputation now?… It looks like they have lost their way and never found their footing again. One is taking a wild guess each time when tuning in; where before all shows were interesting, more...”Read full review »

“We are stuffed to our gills with podcasts these days but IDEAS, which I guess is a radio show on Canada and is available everywhere else as a podcast, is one of the oldest and still one of the most thought provoking in its choice and treatment of subjects. Perhaps Canada doesn’t have much to show...”Read full review »
