I love viewpoints and the passion the hosts give to each episode. I recommend this Podcast to everyone I...”Read full review »

“Amazing depth. Incredible facts. Super engaging. And… I love the banter between the two of you. I think it’s so important to be able to laugh while also tackling heavy subject matter.”

“I finished hearing about Japanese Canadian internments. Great episode and I learned a lot. I found the girl-humour and joviality a bit out of place and somewhat trivialising the somber subject matter. Nonetheless, 4 stars for content and coverage.”

“Unfortunately, it is filled with misleading information and it is hard not to hear the bias when they are taking.
Still has a lot of potential if we move to a more professional type of journalism.”

“Such potential-but the giggling and adolescent behavior of the 2 women hosts ruined the content. That said, I did listen to an older episode. I’ll try a later one and see if there was any improvement. If not, I’ll Unsubscribe,”

“The Neutral Indians were ethnically cleansed by the Iroquois Nation. You are horrible at recognizing how indigenous people killed and exploited each other. Your narrative is that European bad, native good. Yes other cultures led the the downfall of Indians, but you also need to recognize that...”Read full review »

“I found that the hosts spend almost as much time joking around and talking about themselves as they do the history they’re trying to cover.

The show focuses on indigenous and black perspectives, which is a refreshing take on Canadian history. These are their first episodes so much of the content is fairly raw but it is still...”Read full review »

“To much racism for me to listen to anymore than the first episode.
Some interesting listening between all the hate speech.
FYI, it is still racism when it is directed towards white people.
Hopefully Canadian tax dollars won’t be funding this hate speech much longer!”

“4th year history major. Got about 10 minutes in until I couldn’t handle the snarky comments by the hosts. We get it colonialism was bad, don’t need a lecture about about it. Present the content clearly, tell the story without an annoying bias. Could be good, hosts kill it.”
