“Being a downstairs neighbor to Canada, I have learned so much, not just about their history and culture but of our own.
It has given me a new perspective to US history and has inspired me to learn more and seek more answers about the US.
And that the Canadians really AREN’T nicer than...”Read full review »

“I now understand why people say “defund the CBC”. This podcast should be named “why I hate Canada and the people who made it”. What exactly is the point of even doing this podcast. So one sided.
I agree with other reviews on how juvenile it is.”

“Extremely well researched and informative anticolonial stories with hosts that are a joy to listen to. Looking forward to more episodes on treaties and landclaims!”

“The topics are really interesting and could be great show - but often the hosts get sidetracked and make jokes that are so distracting. It’s a little too much. We get it, you’re trying to be edgy and irreverent, but it’s at the expense of the history you’re trying to represent.”

“Non-indigenous, American from Michigan here. This is such important work being presented. I alternate between informed, angry, sad, and hopeful throughout each show. Stellar, stellar work by the hosts and their guests. I value all the CBC Indigenous offerings, wish NPR provided a similar...”Read full review »

“In the very first episode the women are laughing about cannibalism and minimalising the Hudson’s Bay Company.
I know what they are trying to say but it comes across as unreliable, biased, and juvenile. This can be done with decorum.”

“I started listening to your podcast a few months ago and instantly fell in love! What a great podcast - informative, fun, but with an appropriate seriousness for the tough topics that we otherwise don’t ever learn about (or topics that we learn wrong). I appreciate the hosts SO much, and all the...”Read full review »

“I heard this episode via Front Burner and provided great information; even details I had never heard before (thank you Ms. Kim!).
One detail made in jest I felt lacked important context.
Lieutenant General Charles “Tick” Bonesteel (pronounced ‘Bonn-uh-stel’) was not at all the backwoods hick...”Read full review »

“As a newcomer in Canada I can’t stress enough all the gratitude I feel for listening amazing information. I just heard this episode, I live in BC and love the nature around me. Thank you for spotting the lights to one of the most valuables things that make Canada beautiful: the animals.
Amazing!”

There is banter between the hosts that frankly I can’t relate to and seems to be used to fill time that in...”Read full review »
