Customer Reviews
Very Smart and Informative
I especially appreciate the research done during elections. Very informative about Alberta politics and respectful of various points of view!
Albertans, listen up!
Such a great podcast with phenomenal guests in all areas of government. I love how much knowledge and history Dave and Adam pull from to provide context for the day’s most contentious topics. A must listen.
Excellent local podcast for Alberta
It's wonderful to have a podcast that focuses exclusively on Alberta politics. They also do a great job of using an objective tone and not overting favoring any political party or idea. This is long-form journalism with thoughtful guests who have time to write out considered opinions. Thanks for this!
