Customer Reviews
Eavesdropping on the zeitgeist
Listening in to these three guys (and their guests) is like sitting in a pub near a very boisterous table -- they often talk over one another and trade barbs as they bounce from one topic to the next from pop culture to tech talk all flavoured with a Canadian twist.
Funnier than Talking Canadian
While this was a really long podcast, it was way funnier than that Talking Canadian, which is featured right now. If they can cut it down to a shorter podcast, it'll be even better.
Un-pigeon-holeable, ann Canadian too!
What can you say about three Canadians and their guests who get together once a week to discuss the state of the culture, Canadian, North American, and occasionally global? Irreverent, NSFW if you work in Government, the church or the Financial Sector, and always striving to find the pulse. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the body politic is not yet a corpse, even though, after the Toronto G8/G20 (why does that sound like a vegetable juice?) the body may be on the critical list.
Want to delve into technology, entertainment, legislation, knowledge, culture and weirdness in general? Get Dyscultured. It works!
