Proven concept let down by average hosts
When first encountered this podcast it was hosted by Evan Soloman it was a quality show with a good balance of right, centrist, and left leaning pundits kept in check ( as much as this is possible) by the host. When Soloman left the show there was a variety of hosts with Terry Milewski being the best replacement pundit referee. Unfortunately the producers decided to go with Rosemary Barton, who appeared to be more interested in chumming up to the pundits instead of reining them in, so the show became a showcase for political talking points. The current host p, Vassy Kapelos is pleasant enough, but seems unable to attract quality pundits( the previous cast was largely replaced with those with less insight) and more importantly to control her guests. So the show now resembles a series of politically funded monologues or descends into a cat fight of contrary voices trying to stamp their party’s line onto the conversation. Too bad, Canada needs a Face the Nation or Meet the Press- but this is no longer fits that description. This is especially sad as Chuck Todd’s Face the Nation has lost much of it’s former glory and Face the Nation is still reeling from the loss of the brilliant and balanced John Dickerson. The C.B.C. Can do better- but it needs a better host.
