“Tragically this guy has no skills. Jespersen plays a big game, however Jespersen is all talk no substance. He is a big personality only because he’s over compensating. He got fired from CHED he’s got no interaction on Twitter, his Instagram has even less interactions. Only room temperature IQ...”Read full review »

“There is so much clipping and sound volumes are all over the map. Makes the show hard to listen to at low volumes or headphones.
Love the show, but this is a huge annoyance!
Thanks!”

“Disappointing to come to listen to your shows only to find out that your show isn’t non partisan and who you and your advertisers clearly support. If we can’t find places to get unbiased reporters and all we get is partisan promoting programs then why bother. Greatly disappointed!!!”

“Wow did Alberta miss him the short time he was gone. Never will you find a fairer commentator on all things politics. A shame that radio in Alberta has devolved in such a way where a homemade podcast outshines them in all aspects. Keep it up Jespo, this country needs more like you!”
