“The Liberal bias is atrocious. The host, David Cochrane has three moves: spewing outright Trudeauvian talking points, arguing the Liberal position under the guise of ‘disinterested’ commentary, and blatantly attacking Trudeau’s political enemies. The CBC needs to be defunded. No news is better...”Read full review »

“As a daily listener I am grateful for the scope of ‘as it happens’ political developments, issues with the people involved and a broad, non partisan perspectives and commentary.
That said, the show has a surprising amount of audio related programming issues with pauses, background noise, and...”Read full review »

“Why do you time your podcast release for 12:00am. The number of times I’ve unintentionally skipped a show because you post your podcast 18 hours before it actually aired… Every time someone accidentally posts it at the time it aired, I hope that someone with some sense has fixed this oversight. 1...”Read full review »

“The host is unashamedly biased towards Israel, just have to listen back to all of the many many interviews with Antony Housefather and his sorry self pity for being one of the only Liberal against the NPD Motion on Gaza. The host gave him many more minutes to cry on his shoulders than he talked...”Read full review »

“It’s unfortunate, but the CBC has become a Liberal party propaganda machine. This show is no exception. shameful that our tax dollars are going towards this type of show to support the party in power. Gone are the days of impartial CBC reporting. Should be renamed LBC.”

“I rarely listen to this podcast, especially since Vassy Kapelos left for CTV, but I tuned in this morning to a replay from last night. The segments are oddly edited and all four of the panel guests agreed with each other on a variety of topics. I can’t believe my taxpayer dollars pays for this...”Read full review »

“Constantly takes the Liberal position on issues and attacks Conservative guests. Only left wing guests and opinions are supported. Conservatives won’t even go on his show anymore. This podcast was once fair and balanced but management probably didn’t like that. At least Vassey Kapelos presents...”Read full review »

“Let me preface this by stating I’ve never voted conservative in my life (only NDP or Green) so I’m not coming at this from a disgruntled partisan “fake news” perspective. I know how hard it is to present news fairly in general but increasingly this show is quite frankly getting stuck in biased...”Read full review »

“This is the only CBC podcast that regularly hurts my ears with… what is it? It’s like the gain is too high or there’s bad compression or something. I’m not an audio tech, but somebody at CBC needs to get a tech to listen to a few episodes and figure out how to export better quality audio for the...”Read full review »

“I have watched/heard this show/podcast for 5 years and I’ve always stood up for CBC when confronted by friends and colleagues from both extremes of the political spectrum that decried it as mainstream propaganda. But I can’t do it anymore. This show is now pure Israeli propaganda whenever it...”Read full review »

“You need to have some civilians on when you talk about inflation honestly. Saying people are feeling the crunch is an understatement, people are starving because grocery stores are taking advantage of us. We need to protest.”

“It’s always a great listen and I keep listening!

Citizens should hear the truth from politicians and when they aren’t the facts...”Read full review »

“Good news day in Canada so let’s focus on the US. Unsure whether Canada can have a fair election and since the Liberal paid media isn’t holding Govt to account on any file (finance / housing / justice / defence) let’s focus on another countries politics. This is why defunding the CBC needs to be...”Read full review »

“I want to like this as I like how regular it is and the topics from across Canada. But the discussions are always very one-sided and it feels like it’s pushing a very specific agenda. Most recently, that’s a very pro war/military and anti-union agenda. I wish when topics are raised that there was...”Read full review »

“What? … is this interviewer arguing in favour of Facebook on bill C-18? If you CBC interviewer believe that our minister is wrong then try to get your job financing from Facebook and Google instead of us the Canadian taxpayer. If Facebook and Google uses a CBC financed program then they need to...”Read full review »

If the editing improves I’ll...”Read full review »
