Customer Reviews
Rex is king
X country check up is an excellent program. I often find myself in the car Sunday afternoon listening. Even better to listen as a podcast.
Always engaging
Even though I often disagree with Rex's politics, he is an excellent moderator of Canada-wide discussions, and always engaging.
