“Jen creates space for me in the tent of an evolving party. I think she is relatable, honest, and hilarious.
They both have a grip on reality that I appreciate and tell the truth. I look forward to hearing their take on many issues that I care deeply about! 😀”

“As someone who is in the busiest stage of their life but wants to stay informed on the politics of OUR country, The Line podcast stands out as one of the only to “stick to the script,” as it were. While they can veer toward over-critical commentary at times, they are more upfront about their...”Read full review »

“The female host disrespects her children in EVERY episode. She just blamed them for getting in the way of hobbies she wishes to do. She has said she screams at them and how they interrupt her podcast time. Newsflash: your kids will grow up and leave one day; go be with them and be their mother,...”Read full review »

“I stopped listening half way through the “ Justin Trudeau Needs a Hug” episode. Not because of the message. The audio isnt balanced and as result, Matt’s level is low and Jen’s is too high. This compounds Jen’s insistence on talking over Matt or finishing his sentences. I listen to Matt’s show on...”Read full review »

The show offers thought-provoking discussions and presents a perspective that leans more towards the right, which is interesting as someone who tends to lean more left....”Read full review »

“I would like to file a complaint: This podcast is simply too short! I don’t care if you have children. Give the people what they want and extend at least to 1.5 hours. The echo-chamber-affirming content is simply too good, and I want more. I’ve followed Gurney since he introduced us to his...”Read full review »

I have to state at the outset that Jen is a friend, but I believe these two to be among the best journalists in Canada. Their opinions go a long way in...”Read full review »

“Like most Canadians, I'm not a fan of most Canadian political journalism.
Canadian political journalism is insular.
Canadian political journalism focuses on how many solar panels the House just voted to stick on the roof of Parliament - if it's non-partisan journalism.

“Matt Gurney and Jen Gerson deliver in a podcast like no one else. Listening to them may make you feel angry, but that’s the point. But not angry in a crazy right-wing-burn-it-all-down way. More like in a can-we-have-some-grown-ups-in-charge way.”

Before discussing the idea of Alberta withdrawing from the CPP she should do some research, read the actual study or some of the other studies that while...”Read full review »
