Customer Reviews
So glad I found this podcast!
I am an avid podcast listener and have recently discovered this. I LOVE it! Piya is an expert interviewer who I really enjoy listening to. The topics are timely, meaningful and relevant. I always learn something! Great job Piya and CBC.
Host could use replacing
I don't think Piya is a very good host. She is at times surprisingly opinionated and unnecessarily pointed with her criticism of her guests. She causes me to cringe more than I like. I hope the CBC works to find a better host for this once great program.
Listen now list
Even after all episodes are played this podcast does not clear from the listen now list. Not impressed.
