This Helped!

Thank you! - Joe Clark

Great left leaning podcast!

The 2nd best NDP/ Liberal coalition since Jagmeet and Justin!
My only qualms would be that sometimes they focus on things that are TOO mainstream and never answer any of their mailbag questions on air. Also you should win things by listening

Best in the biz!

Lary and Yeny remain two of the top players in the podcast game! Great insight and they never miss a chance for a pop culture anecdote or funny quip. Occasional FAKENEWS and misinformation (primarily from larry CarbonNO) but they make up for it with many a hearty laugh Heuheuheuhe!!
