Could be much better

This is a daily podcast that takes average people’s struggles in life and sensationalizes them into some form of news. It could be so much better if it dropped the constant interviewing of people who have petty and mundane problems or sensationalizing human suffering.

We all know Gaza is a tough place to live currently, why keep interviewing people to listen to them wailing on the ‘news’?

Vancouver is a hard place to find an affordable house. Why interview people every second night to hear about their struggles and lack of choices it’s not news.

First Nation issues on remote reserves affecting 10 or less people don’t deserve national news coverage.

This could be so much better if it just reported factual news every evening without the sensationalistic and meaningless junk sound bites that add nothing to the factual issues at hand.

After decades listening to this, it is shocking how bad it’s become. Terrible, tedious and painful to listen to.

Shows up later and is shorter … but has new name

Not really sure what the purpose was for this change. Always looked forward to the show while preparing dinner. Now it’s coming mostly too late. I mean, really, it was already podcast friendly (it was radio - so, like, really!). I understand that CBC needs to save money. But the big thinkers in the big offices probably shouldn’t have started with a pretty perfect show. But what do I know, I’ve just been listening to the show for years. That said, the people doing the show are still great. Just missing 10 minutes every evening now. Too bad.
