“Her arrogant tone distracted from an otherwise interesting dialogue.
Her calling constituents “kooks” was a turn-off.”

“This pod is not objective news or opinion panels. It is heavily progressive/leftist biased in its coverage of current events. It is clear that they are towing their party's line and throwing shade at anything conservative.”Read full review »

“So sad seeing this show tumbling down the woke cesspit. I used to like hearing differing points of view but I now see that CBC’s zombie hand is too long and pulled them down into the pit. This week's topic was on Alberta’s announcement on Trans issues and water shortages. They twisted all of...”Read full review »

“Such biased, insulting rubbish. How is this ´journalism’? Shame. An hour long ad pro NDP / anti cup AND I have to pay for this. You went too far Kathleen.
There was such pleasure tearing down the cup. Journalism? No plain opinionated punditry. So disappointing given the talent.”

“An interesting albeit infuriating discussion about the APP. Where to start. Perhaps with Jim Dinning claiming that the telephone town halls is “listening” to people. 14,000 people on a phone call with curated questions and comments is not listening, it’s preaching. It’s a sales pitch with what...”Read full review »

“The guests were strong , especially Leach, given the topic. Time constraints sometimes limit the potential of this show. Listeners are capable of listening in segments. Are you unwilling to produce multiple podcasts on a topic? Some topics are an entree not an appetizer.”

“If you have listened to this episode and made it through to the end, kudos to you! I found myself counting the “you know”, “like, you know” and “like” randomly dispersed in each sentence, sometimes more than once. It’s terribly distracting for a lengthy episode, which is too bad because the...”Read full review »

“I love the show, but it is very hard to listen to, especially at night.
The audio levels range from whisper quiet to yelling within the course of a sentence, and the guests and hosts all sound terrible half the time.
Thanks for looking into it team CBC!”

“A huge thank you to Kathleen Petty and her team for an informative, interesting and compelling take on Western politics. Once a Calgarian and now a Nova Scotian, the pod is a gift to those like me who need a continuous dose of Western politics to keep things real. Keep up the great work!”

“Since the CBC made the ill fated decision to cancel the 180, Western Canada was once again ignored by the Toronto-centric mother Corp. This pod cast offers a much needed glimpse... too bad they can’t find a slot amongst the banality of the current radio one schedule for this very important...”Read full review »

“This podcast shines most weeks, until they seemingly run out of ideas and gather journos to congratulate one another. Sad.
When you run out of ideas why not devote an episode to answering listener questions. The two stars is strictly for these selfish episodes. The rest of the content is great.”

“This podcast really grounds me & helps me understand politics in Alberta. Neither extremely right or left...this podcast is fair, & one more Albertans should listen to. In an increasingly polarized world, this podcast helps me understand what’s really going on in Alberta.”

“As a proud Calgarian, it’s great to finally have a platform that speaks to Alberta and Western issues in a moderate and measured way, rather than speaking for one side of the usual polarized debate (i.e. hyper-conservative rural Albertans vs central Edmontonians who end up moving to Toronto)....”Read full review »
