Customer Reviews
Love the show
Show is great. Love the local focus. Only thing would be that it is sometimes hard to hear voices when the music is playing in the background.
Great Program!
Good production, interesting discussion, all around worthwhile podcast for any labour/socially minded person.
Sharp, informative, professional
An incredible resource for labour activists in the Prairies - and really across Canada and beyond. Great guests, great discussions, hitting on extremely relevant issues that nobody else is properly dissecting. Professionally produced and sounds excellent. Host Emily Leedham has produced a wonderful program.
