“This podcast has superb editing and story telling - it keeps you interested the whole way through and shows many sides of the complex character that is Rob Ford.
I always had a really negative perspective on Rob Ford but when I watched the Jimmy Kimmel episode way back when, I felt bad for Rob...”Read full review »

“An incredible view from the inside of one of the more surprising campaigns of the last decade.
In hindsight, that victory was eerily indicative of things to come.”

“I was somewhat skeptical at first, simply because I thought that this would turn into “screw Trump” podcast via the comparisons they were making. Now, don’t get me wrong I love those podcasts as much as the next person. But I wanted something new to listen to. The Gravy Train, has turned into...”Read full review »

“One of the best podcasts I have listened to this year. The story of Rob Ford is such more than the headlines grabbing ‘crack smoking’ mayor. This podcast has made me laugh and cry in equal measures over the last few weeks. Please, please listen to this podcast.”

“Great work showing the complexities of this man, as well as the zeitgeist in which he found himself and benefited from. I’m left feeling how incredibly strange that such a prescient moment in history occurred in the otherwise fairly predictable town in which I live.”

“As a Toronto outsider looking in, the Rob Ford saga was genuinely hilarious, disgraceful and embarrassing. I’m not sure if we should praise the man for figuring out a way to weaponize populism to get elected or to admonish the people who actually voted for him being completely ambivalent towards...”Read full review »

The story of Rob Ford and his fam is it’s own special grey area and this pod is incredibly successful at showing all angles of his life, for you to judge and/or sympathize with. It feels important to know, given how much political pigs of...”Read full review »

“I read a lot of reviews saying this was very partisan, so I was going to steer clear of it... But I feel this captures the Ford era with a lot of truth and empathy!

“I'm not saying I ever agreed with a single policy Rob put in place, but what an amazing hilarious problematically loveable guy.

“Captures the hubris & pathos of Rob Ford’s political life and humanizes this deeply flawed man. There’s also implicit criticism of the media’s role in building and tearing down demagogues. Great listen, highly recommend.”
