What Canadian podcasts do you recommend? My podcast app is currently downloading:

  • CanadaLand - It’s mostly opinion, but the host does talk about the media landscape and what it takes for Canadian news outlets to survive. Hosts occasionally shoot their mouths off and then give mea culpas.

  • The Big Story - An Ontario-centric daily news show by Rogers. The host knows his audience and does decent interviews. I appreciate their ongoing focus on cost of living issues.

I’ve tried:

  • Front Burner - Another daily news show. The interviews feel scripted, but there’s occasionally good stuff.

  • The Loonie Hour - I tried to listen to this for its right leaning perspective, but I gave up after one of the hosts said reliable sources told him Russia would never invade Ukraine.

  • Backbench Podcast - as much as I like the new host, it doesn’t feel like it offers a lot of insight.

EDIT: fixed formatting.

    I’ve been following a bit Arcade Quebec to improve my french, so I can’t give you a proper review since I understand half of what is said :P
    Also I was listening to Horreur Podcast but the last episode is from March called “L’épisode final”, again, I understood very little so I don’t know exactly what happened.
