“Most days I think this is a pretty good podcast. But the report on Bill 124 had an odd moment. In response to a direct question about why the courts found the Bill unconstitutional, the answer was a mishmash of entitlement and opinions about rights. The correct answer is that collective...”Read full review »

“I’ve been a listener for a few years now and I can say it’s my favourite way to stay informed about what is going on in Canada!
Even when there are difficult or worrying topics, I feel like the tone stays balanced and that Jordan and his guests manages to steer away from fear mongering.”

“Parental rights episode is biased. No perspectives of parents was shared or discussed.
After all it’s the parents who are responsible for and provides for the children.
We need to be very careful and scientific as children are our future generation and can’t go wrong.”

“I teach a course on current political events (17-19 year old students) and this is one of my go-to podcasts to prepare them for discussions. Reputable sources clearly explained in an engaging manner. You can’t beat The Big Story!”

“One of my go-to podcasts if I’m commuting or cooking. Love seeing independent Canadian news at a time where Canadian news is struggling. They typically bring on informed guests and the conversations are always welcomed! Also, I sent in a story idea and they actually did a show related to it!...”Read full review »

“I really liked how this episode made it clear that MAiD is a careful, well-considered process that is not out to kill people at the drop of a hat.
Too many people today leap to conclusions based on emotions and shallow thinking. Most thoughtful answers to important questions include the phrase...”Read full review »

“I like this podcast but the most recent episode starts off full of inaccuracies. It talks about Paris Hilton on Jimmy Kimmel in 2002… then plays a clip of Paris Hilton on Jimmy Fallon in 2022.
I’d love to hear basic facts stated correctly to lend credibility to the rest of the reporting.”

“Why are you allowing ads from the govt of alberta that actually are full of fake information? You shill out for that while reporting on “objective” news?
I used to really like this podcast. It is becoming more and more unbalanced in its reporting- way too left leaning without any real debate or...”Read full review »

“Adults have “rights”
Children have “resilience”
Parents are the stewards of the future not the owners.
Ignoring someone’s truth that harms no others, and standing in the way of love, that’s the real crime.

“I highly recommend this podcast. It is enjoyable and generally useful. Mr. Heath Rawlings presents the topics in an interesting way and asking useful questions. While some episodes don’t resonate for me, the vast majority are thought provoking and helpful!
Thank you - appreciate your good work!”

“I find this podcast to be a form of laundering think tank opinion with specific political goals, and as such it is completely unconcerned about the truth. Pretty insulting to listen to honestly.”

“2022- It’s an interesting podcast that touches on topical and current subjects. Some of the guests brought on have a bit of a left leaning bias and the host doesn’t challenge them. It makes for an interesting listen, leaving me with a lot more questions that unfortunately go unanswered. Hopefully...”Read full review »

“I like this podcast - but it would be great to bring more than one viewpoint into episodes. For example, the union episode was awfully one sided, didn’t point out any of the down side of unions. Going to keep listening for a while and hope it gets better”
