“This is a wonderful show ranging from serious consideration and discussion of current events to more whimsical segments. I always learn something, think anew about some topic, laugh, and wait eagerly for next Sunday!”

“I’m sure I would have given this program a better chance if it wasn’t the replacement for Enright files. It’s too airy, it’s not thought-provoking, there is not enough in-depth discussion to fill Enright’s shoes. I don’t know what the producers were thinking. I wish CBC would at least make his...”Read full review »

“Over the years, anytime Piya was covering for The Current, Q, As It Happens, any other CBC program or special event I immediately made a note of it and tuned in to listen.
A big fan of Out In The Open, I was thrilled when Piya took over the coveted Sunday morning time slot from Michael Enright...”Read full review »

“Piya Chattopadhyay is a delight to listen to. Object and insightful, but always with a touch of kindness in her interviews.”

“I am so sad this Sunday morning show has gone from world class current affairs radio (with Michael Enwright) to “human interest” dribble with Piya Chattopadhyay . I don’t blame Piya. I blame the CBC.”

“I don't think Piya is a very good host. She is at times surprisingly opinionated and unnecessarily pointed with her criticism of her guests. She causes me to cringe more than I like. I hope the CBC works to find a better host for this once great program.”Read full review »

“I’ve been listening to Sunday Magazine for years. Change is difficult, but Pia has handled stepping into big shoes masterfully. The topics have really resonated with me. Maybe the benefit of a host which is of the same demographic and life experience? Anyway, rock on Pia!”

“Have given the new show a fair try, but now find I would prefer listening to old Sunday Edition shows with Michael Enright. I’m grateful they are still available, because Sunday mornings with Sunday Edition were special. It’s no longer the case with Sunday Magazine.”

“Michael Enright’s ability to humanely connect with a wide variety of guests “over the radio” was unparalleled. Some of Piya Chattopadhyay’s interviews this year have been pretty good. A few have been cringeworthy. None have had the electric connection and depth that was so frequent when Enright...”Read full review »

“I was really excited to hear that Piya was taking over the show because the previous host was cringe worthy. Sad to see all the boomers hating on Piya in their reviews. Piya is an excellent interviewer and I look forward to anything she has a hand in. Keep up the great work and thanks!!!”

A focus on woke topics, interviews with Empathetic non-questions.

“The topics have become lame, mostly unimportant, and get dragged out to fill time. I miss the pacing of theSunday Edition. I also miss Enright’s opening monologue... it showed that he put thought into whatever current event was significant. Can Pia try to show a little more interest please?”

“CBC Radio is the gem of Canadian culture. Sunday Magazine (replacing Sunday Edition), As It Happens, and The World At Six form the trifecta of current affairs broadcasting anywhere in the World.

When the whole show is lumped into a single podcast it’s...”Read full review »

“The previous show had a wide range of guests and was less controversial than this new program. I find the slant here to be far to the left and Pia does not challenge their viewpoints like Michael would. Could be her bias, but it is not working.”

Previously, she had developed a style where she heavily emphasized occasional words. Thankfully she has reverted to her original, mellifluous style.”
