“Very interesting and informative. This episode knocked the socks off what I thought was the history of this land. It also relieved me if some settler-racist anxiety I didn’t know how to navigate through. It is really very disturbing when academics ignore evidence and silence dissent to maintain...”Read full review »

“A comprehensive exploration of historical ideas about the value, purposes and models of universal education. A glaring omission is any reference to half of those potential students: girls and women.”

“I’ve listened to this program for years. It’s engaging, enlightening and refuses to dumb down it’s subject matter. This is why public radio is essential - it facilitates our learning about ourselves.
Ideas offers a broad array of topics from philosophy, culture, history, science, politics,...”Read full review »

“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.”

“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 »
