    Hagi
    Feels like, if you’re going to say Sarah Hagi agrees with you, you might as well have her on the show to say so for herself
  • socalcoco
    Love the podcast
    A good jolt for one of those Americans who idealizes Canada as a kind of Utopia. But really, you can’t see Bing as an alternative to Google because you think it will be weird to say Bing? Please launch a Canadian campaign to “just say Bing” every time you’re about to say the “G” word. They’re thugs, erase them. Also Bing may just end up winning the AI wars.

    Wanted to listen to my first episode but it was behind a paywall
    Never going to listen now

    Not really journalism exactly
    The quality of discussion is incredibly uneven - a bit like Fox News for woke types - sadly not very good but I assume they are under enormous financial pressure so I guess they have to declare their colours to get money from listeners. Canada needs a news source that at least attempts to be objective and this sure isn’t it.
  • blkcat97
    Great journalism
    I learn so much from this podcast. I may be from the United States but I don’t hear news like this. It would be awesome to have an equivalent to this in the United States too.
  • BiscoBoopBazaar42
    Excellent
    American listener, but the journalistic integrity and quality content provided by Jesse and the rest of the crew at Canadaland are quite remarkable. Just started my membership today. Keep up the good work, folks!
  • mbjk987
    Keep up the French episodes!
    Love the French language podcast episodes. As a Canadian expat who doesn’t hear French as much as I used to, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I was able to follow. Great having a non corporate bilingual source of Canadian news
  • *krr
    Unfortunate narrative quality
    Typical of Canadian media, this very important story could have been better told. So disappointed with the writing. It should be more compelling, and move faster. I lost interest after 1.5 episodes.
  • OngMi
    good podcast but
    love seeing the transphobia in the reviews, good job at being a homophobe @eatthemenu

    Men debating women’s rights/misogyny
    I absolutely love the episode where the two men debate Jessica Yaniv who is using the legal system to harass women because they didn’t want to touch his penis! They seem to think that this is exactly the same as the civil rights movement where black customers would do sit-ins. They essentially make the point that if a woman has a penis (lol) then women should be compelled to touch them. Hear that ladies? These men think serving someone with a different skin color in a restaurant is the exact same as a predatory male trying to use the legal system in Canada to punish women for not touching his penis. So progressive! Thanks gentleman, this woman now knows that she should NEVER refuse to touch a penis in Canada!
  • Aquabee520
    Good and bad
    Some decent media criticism... very cynical and hosts that are working super hard to be cool. So-so. Oppo podcast audio super low-quality, sounds like Jen is recording in her bathroom. You should be embarrassed of your audio in this day and age...
  • lazarillo de tucson
    Outstanding
    Always interesting.
  • Nate Rumble
    Love it
    Great podcast
  • CoolDog420
    Mean and spiteful
    I liked the first few episodes of the program, then I heard one where they ragged on a CBC host. Jesse and the guest were incredibly mean spirited and cruel talking about this person. When I though they would stop they continued to bag on the host's upcoming show I had to shut it off because I was embarssed listening to the way Jesse and Co behaved. It even drove me to review this negatively. Snobby and elitist.
  • pmjboyle
    Entertaining and informative
    Great and much-needed Canadian media criticism.
  • Tony Tagliano
    Marineland gets no love, but this episode does!
    Had a blast start to finish!
  • AlienAnima
    Great discussions about Canadian topics
    I love the lens of reviewing the media to talk about real issues. Smart and thoughtful.
  • makewen
    At last a show on the Canadian media
    Not quite as serious as NPR's On the Media in the U.S., but still vital for anybody interested in Canada
  • WhiskyRabbi
    Not just for Canadians
    For anyone who wants a unique and critical take on what's happening in the media landscape North of the 49th, this is the podcast for you.
  • JosefAK
    Really awesome stuff...
    If you want a peek into Canadian media culture, SUBSCRIBE. If you're financially able, SUPPORT the podcast. Be a patron!
  • mritche
    Great independent media commentary
    I've been looking for a show like this for a long time. CBC's radio shows and podcasts are good but lack a critical and introspective look at the Canadian media this provides. Keep it up!
  • @davedelaney
    Yes!
    I have always respected and enjoyed Jesse Brown’s work as a broadcaster/podcaster. I appreciate his candour and no BS approach to getting down to the truth. CanadaLand Rocks.
