Girl talk from Canada

The friendly banter is great but their actual audience is likely bigger than they intended. The podcast is from Canada and features ads for local or perhaps regional businesses. I liked the content and the interview of a family of a toddler who needed a liver transplant. I’m not a fan of the announcement about the upcoming commercial that leads to the sound of several sheets of paper being shuffled.
