“Steve has been an unbiased and even keeled host for as long as I have been watching him. The agenda is not afraid to have people from all sides of the political field come and share their views.
I appreciate that there are people in the world who are making informed and interesting content...”Read full review »

“I consider this show to be one of my most trusted sources for current affairs and Ontario specific news. It is refreshingly non-partisan and has diverse panels. I love their coverage of hyperlocal issues because it is increasingly rare to find in the media climate. The host, Steve Paikin, is...”Read full review »

“The Agenda and TVO overall is one of the few places where people are asked hard (and actually hard) questions and difficult discussions are had across the spectrum. Despite his leanings and family connections - Paikin treats all guests and all topics with equal care and interest. The other...”Read full review »

“Hey! You want to know what Steve’s pets are up to? What interesting side project he’s working on now? This is the show for you!
Want to hear a vigorous defence of a mayor who watched Toronto slide into multiple political crises, and made a number of them worse? Check out Steve’s view of John...”Read full review »

“I've been an avid watcher/listener and even attended tapings in the past when they recorded episodes at the Munk center.
The episode discussing John Tory and his activities with public funds and public office was a cringey listen. Particularly, Steve's incessant white-knighting of Tory...”Read full review »

“I’ve been watching this show for many years. It’s the most informative, balanced and objective news show on TV. I look forward to it each day. My only complaint is that it’s too short. Longer discussions on each topic would be better. Keep up the great work and thank you for your unbiased ...”Read full review »

** Look up information about the Paikin family and it’s financial gains from the Greenbelt destruction and you might re-think subscribing and inadvertently paying for Steve’s mega wage.”

“Remember just a few short years ago when The Agenda wasn’t utter progressive garbage? Steve is letting this show slide into absurdity with the near daily barrage of Woke topics.
Avoid this government owned propaganda mill and just go to liberal.ca to mainline it from the source”

“This is the best political discourse we have in the Canadian Media. In depth analysis and discussion with the experts is entertaining and educational. TVO without Agenda is difficult to imagine. The interviews here are much better than run of mill in the TV media. Who after Steve is always a mind...”Read full review »

“Steve’s curiosity and intelligence shines and is never boring. However, TVO’s credibility is sinking with the ongoing decisions to put Nam in the host’s chair. Please listen to an episode and count the “ums”. Listen to how she follows the script instead of the flow of her guests’ responses,...”Read full review »

“Steve is great. However, the show’s fixation on identity politics has made this insufferable to watch and listen to.
It’s a shame because they used to be great.”

As a podcast, however, it's a bit annoying. Each episode is broken up into sections, and iTunes only gets one per day. If you wish to hear the entire show you have to do so manually. The good news is it appears...”Read full review »
