Looking for suggestions for decent Canadian politics podcasts. Currently I’ve only found the House and The Backbench are good on the regular - but discoverability is a challenge with most podcast lists dominated by American content.
Recommendations?
CBC’s ideas: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/ideas
It isn’t always about politics, and when it is it’s usually wider reaching things in retrospect or debates with intelligent people, but it’s quintessentially Canadian and always interesting and educational.
I used to listen to CBC’s At Issue with Rosemary Barton until I ran behind my list and had to unsubscribe a large chunk of them.
Now, I’m just behind by 4 months worth of episodes
The Breach, Bubble Pop with Rachel Gilmore, The Hatchet, Tech Won’t Save Us (Canadian host, tech focused), Spacing Radio.
One of the hosts on It Won’t Happen Here is Canadian too.
Steve Boots has some good content but can occasionally be whiny and rude imho.
Check out Steve Boots, started watching some of his. He seems fairly level, evenly criticizes the parties. There is another guy my gf watches, if I remember tonight to ask her I will put him here too.
If you’re listening to the Backbench, you probably already know about the other Canadaland podcasts, but I’ll add a plug for that and the Copernic Affair. CBC’s Frontburner can be good from time to time.
I’m really disappointed that The Big Story dropped Jordan Heath Rawlings. That was a great show.
Actually I didn’t explore the other Canadaland podcasts - so I very much appreciate the pointer!
