So fun, so Canadian. Really love how this is just ordinary things that all of us often struggle with and somehow put off resolving for some reason. After a long hiatus I’m very happy that this podcast is back. Now please also pickup Heavyweight w Jonathan Goldstein since Spotify killed it!
Love this show!

I can't remember when I started listening to Wire Tap--seems like it must have been a lifetime ago. So glad to see it come back. Truly the best podcast ever and I've missed you!
Wiretap amazing, this podcast, garbage.

Another Nathaniel

Wiretap is the benchmark in which I compare any other radio/podcast. I’ve yet to find a show that is comparable. You should go look on the internet and listen to them all. This podcast, is hot garbage. There was a trickle of content, and now just puts out ads for other cbc shows.

You never quite know where WireTap will take you. From a scientist who documents the final words of parrots to what it's like to date Lois Lane after she's broken up with Superman, the minds of Jonathan Goldstein and his friends and family are truly unique.
