Customer Reviews
Great podcast so far
Just discovered this podcast and it has been pretty interesting learning about the arctic.
Great content, poor audio production
I so badly want to love this pod but the audio quality is so poor (always super low volume, have to crank it way up, the "s"s are harsh and tinny, guests are often even quieter and scratchy) that I often give up 1/3 of the way through.
Great discussions
One of the best podcasts for in-depth discussions about the machinery of the Canadian government, especially the military and diplomacy spheres.
