“The 2nd best NDP/ Liberal coalition since Jagmeet and Justin!
My only qualms would be that sometimes they focus on things that are TOO mainstream and never answer any of their mailbag questions on air. Also you should win things by listening”

“Lary and Yeny remain two of the top players in the podcast game! Great insight and they never miss a chance for a pop culture anecdote or funny quip. Occasional FAKENEWS and misinformation (primarily from larry CarbonNO) but they make up for it with many a hearty laugh Heuheuheuhe!!”

“If worse comes to worst (and it may still), without hesitation I'd put these two in charge of it all -- the entire Government. Or, at very least, deposit them in the Cabinet room to pass judgement like two policy-trained Statler and Waldorfs. I promise you, we'd be a country of fewer...”Read full review »

“One of the hosts is bad and the other one’s in denial about how bad the bad one is ("lobbyists just represent causes, anyone can employ a lobbyist" -- expect that genre of apologia). It’s a good podcast despite this; the hosts’ knowledge is thorough and they do their homework. And...”Read full review »

The focus is on federal politics, though they do discuss provincial matters sometimes. The hosts diligently cover only topics...”Read full review »

“The short pants pod is a unique (and also great) look into how the the Canadian government, parliament and bureaucracy works using the topic du jour as a backdrop. With a focus on the workings of the government machinery they dive into what and how things are actually done.
It’s an interesting...”Read full review »

“The Boys represent a razor-thin segment of the Canadian political spectrum, but it's one that's fairly important to understand in order to grok parliament hill.
And I like their banter and delivery quite a bit.”Read full review »

Here is my problem: you have a CPC member and a NDP memeber hosting the show...you'd think that would result in some interesting debate on the issues . Well you'd be wrong....”Read full review »

“Doing a really great job with this. If the network shows leave you wallowing unsatisfied on the surface, the Boys will scratch that deep itch. Weedsier than Vox's The Weeds.
