Excellent for Canadians abroad

Peter is an icon, but one that hasn’t let it go to his head. This is the perfect way for a Canadian abroad to stay abreast of Canadian politics. Good talk is my favorite show. But smoke and mirrors and the truth is also excellent; it’s refreshing to have two guests representing different sides of the political spectrum have an intelligent and civil debate. Keep up the great work!

A Canadian icon!

I truly think of Peter one of Canada’s great newscasters. This podcast is a treat to listen to as someone who grew up tuning in to Peter over the years. Informative, thoughtful, soothing, interesting, pertinent, and credible, are just some of the appropriate descriptors for this show.

This is one Bridge to cross daily

As an American who would watch Canadian election returns from the CBC and Peter on CSPAN, following Peter’s retirement I was unsure who I would follow for this Fall’s election. Peter’s podcast is a good and insightful 15-20 minute recap of the election events of the day. The American media would do well to listen to Peter and take note of his journalism.
