Fabulous

One of the best podcasts on the internet. I’m always seeking out the latest and even replay some older ones and share with friends😄

Takes too long for podcast to become available

This program airs from 1830-2000 central time, the podcast isn’t available until after 2300. It takes 3h+ for the podcast to appear. CBC is all over the place with their podcasts, they need to standardize things. I can listen to Your World Tonight BEFORE it airs in my timezone, and yet As It Happens isn’t available until 3h+ after it is aired. At least As It Happens and Quirks and Quarks are not cut up into 3 episodes, like The Current is every day (3 episode a day, who wants that kind of clutter in their podcast playlist!?), which is why I gave it 2 stars instead of 1. 5-star content!
