The Agenda with Steve Paikin (Audio)

The Agenda has long been standing as informative and conversational program cover a very wide range of topics and issues. There is discussion here for everyone. I appreciate the diverse groups of people they bring to the table even if I disagree with them. The hosts often ask questions or follow up in ways to help the listener have a better understanding. I also don’t understand the beef people have with Paikin, I think he is a great and knowledgeable host!

Hands down, this is the best current affairs program in Canada and beyond. Steve’s genuine curiosity and level hand make this show into a highly informative and critical component of our democracy.

Steve has been an unbiased and even keeled host for as long as I have been watching him. The agenda is not afraid to have people from all sides of the political field come and share their views. I appreciate that there are people in the world who are making informed and interesting content about the issues that affect Canadians.

I consider this show to be one of my most trusted sources for current affairs and Ontario specific news. It is refreshingly non-partisan and has diverse panels. I love their coverage of hyperlocal issues because it is increasingly rare to find in the media climate. The host, Steve Paikin, is consistently professional and knowledgeable about his subjects, but is not a soft-ball interviewer. I’ve religiously watched the TVO television broadcast version since 2012 and was delighted when they started releasing this in podcast format so I could catch up on or revisit certain segments. They do a bang-up job describing any graphics that are missed in audio format.
