Customer Reviews
Sandy and Nora are good; Daily News with Nora is depressing
Sandy and Nora allow me to follow Canadian news, which is important as I have family and friends living in Canada. I particularly enjoy Sandy’s contributions because she seems to have a life experience in Canada that makes her analyses more relevant to me. My complaints are that Nora curses too much and Daily News headlines are depressing. You can report the truth in 7 minutes and include information to help listeners feel hopeful about facing the day.
Informative
Informative, mostly objective and well produced. Only recommend try steel manning(?) other side more.
There are better options
The lack of broad cultural, historical, and political knowledge is astounding. Assertions made loudly and emphatically do not equal fact. The hubris with these hosts is baffling and likely won’t dissipate anytime soon since it appears they are not the least bit curious as to the positions of their ideological opponents’ or even those who slightly disagree with them. Thankfully there are plenty of podcasts that possess knowledge, curiosity and humility. Sadly, this is not one of them.
