Really enjoyed hearing from David Frum. Please invite him again.
Podcast Addict5a month agoJoseph Valenti- What David Frum gets right
Catherine’s interview with David Frum related to Build Canada really brings to light the truth. Mr. Frum got this narrative right. The federal government is finally focusing on the need to focus on a united path that will allow us to build projects of national interest. This takes courage and discipline. I agree with Mr. Frum. Small groups should never be given a veto on the initiatives that will bring a better life to the majority of Canadians.

Advertisements from Fortis BC - please NO!! I appreciate that CBC is underfunded but it’s really distasteful to hear this program reporting on the climate crisis, interrupted by an ad from a dirty fossil fuel company like Fortis. LNG is dirty - make no mistake, and contributing to the climate crisis. I hope you can find funding from elsewhere
Apple Podcasts3Island KateCanada2 months ago - I want to like the show but
Catherine asks incredibly leading questions in her interviews. I’d ask her to use more open ended questions and get the interviewee to be more specific if they dodge. With the leading questions, the guest will almost inevitably dodge the question.

Love catching up on the news with The House and House Parry on the weekends. The commentary is always insightful and witty accompanied by amazing guests with balanced perspectives. The fun and excitement that Cathrine Cullen and her guests show on the podcasts are in deep contrast to the doom and gloom that is so typical in political and news focused shows. The House and the House Party sounds and feels like a chat with friends by the fire, even when debates and interviews get spirited. Thank yo... more
