Love this podcast
Both Jen and Justin bring great perspectives to the podcast. I love the unapologetically argumentative style, and frequently crack up whenever one of them gets a good dig in on the other, regardless of the politics involved. I understand that this tone isn't for everyone, but it's really refreshing to me - to hear two hosts legitimately and hilariously disagreeing while (presumably) still being able to relate to each other. Occasionally, it's even more surprising and promising when they don't disagree - it's a great reminder that we actually have a lot of common ground in Canada to keep building on. I truly hope this show continues, and that both hosts continue with it. You guys are both awesome.Read full review »

One of the best media and politics commentary shows available in Canada. Jenn gerson and Justin ling have excellent chemistry and are both amusing and informative.
