Jayme I thoroughly enjoyed your show. Excellent entertainment for a head. Scratching topic. Well done! KHF - Albuquerque, Mexico.

Love this show! (Except Jason Kennedy Episode)😆

As a devoted listener of many years I appreciate the excellent quality of this podcast along with its reasonable length. However for the first time ever that I can recall I had to stop the episode with Jason Kenney- not due to the hosts valiant efforts to keep the discussion focused- but due to Kenneys persistent electioneering rhetoric😖I am a dual Canadian American and as I am currently in the USA it reminded me of some of the partisan political slop I try to avoid here. It is why I prefer your show to The Daily ( in the USA). To the professional staff at Front Burner keep up the great work!

Good show but…

I tune in to this show from the States and appreciate your coverage of both US and Canadian politics. On shows concerning the latter, however, you feature far too many guests who are just straight-up party hacks — consultants, strategists, paid sophists whose whole job is spin, prevarication, rationalization. These are not interesting conversations, and they obscure more than they reveal. Good journalism doesn’t just air out talking points; it investigates, analyses, reports. Your best shows do this; your worst reflect the least interesting aspects of CNN-style “coverage.”
