My family always had CBC on in the background my whole childhood, now I listen to your podcast. I can always catch your show every day. Thank you!
Another CBC show that virtually never mentions Canada. Three day-old, ill-informed regurgitations of takes from US programs about subjects that have zero to do with our country.
News and weird news. Tragedy and comedy. Such is life. And they capture it. With seriousness, warmth, empathy, hilarity, bad puns.
Here for the puns and a take on the news that is not always depressing and hopeless.
