Customer Reviews
Informative, but issues are Pronounced
This podcast is great. It's very informative. But I find it has the same issues every week. The overall volume is often times too low and I find it hard to hear it sometimes. Other issues are still prevalent, but not common. What I mean by this is that, there was dead air where I feel like there should be an ad or perhaps more content on this weeks podcast.
Turning up the volume could be one simple solution to the "volume too low" problem I've been dealing with.
Garbage biased journalism
This podcast is the embodiment of the CBCs Liberal party bias and of no journalistic integrity.
MSM cancer
The lack of coverage of the emergency act inquiry is the exact reason I no longer trust the CBC and MSM in general. I think getting funding pulled out and making the MSM operate like any other business is a good idea because right now I see it as a propaganda station for the government and I mean any government that takes power. There needs to be a separation of media and government.
