Customer Reviews
Ontario Today
I enjoy most programs as they deal with issues that expand on current day events. Hearing from people who have experience in the topic at hand is quite relevant and appreciated.
I especially enjoy the Garden show but wish it could be an hour long. Thirty minutes is a teaser. I appreciate Paul’s knowledge base and experience but I wonder what it would be like to have guest “horticulturist from time to time? Thank you.

Get rid of Gardening segment!
I love listening to Ontario Today, lots of interesting topics! I’m not a fan of the gardening show though. I’m not interested in gardening at all and I’m always disappointed to have to break away from an interesting conversation to go to gardening! Especially in the winter, who wants to talk about gardening in the winter! You should give Ed Lawrence his own gardening show and that way avid gardeners can get their answers without interrupting the Ontario Today show.
Great daily topics
It’s always a great listen and I keep listening! I know this isn’t BBC’s “HardTalk” but it would be great if Amanda or other hosts would push back against political speak and spin on the really important questions. Citizens should hear the truth from politicians and when they aren’t the facts should be shoved back at them to catch them in falsehoods meant for social media sound bites.
It is great to hear voices from all across the social spectrum on so many interesting topics.
On the podcast version, I wish they wouldn’t break Monday’s show into two parts. It screws with my listening order.
