Customer Reviews
About time.
I am so excited that The National finally has a podcast, and the fact that it is the insanely interesting At Issue Panel! Chantal, Andrew, and Allan are all brilliant. (Kady from macleans.ca should begin making regular appearances, as should the gentleman from the Halifax Chronicle). Now, if only The National would be available for download the day AFTER it airs, in its entirety, so I could get the wide array of news when I have time to watch it. Keep up the awesome work, CBC!
Great timing... the election is coming
Election or not, this is an excellent panel that gives insight into Canadian politics. I love watching and learning, although I don't usually watch TV and thus have missed this panel more often than not. I find it fascinating to listen to the panel members, whose opinions do not always reflect where they live/ ideological backgrounds.
Great Podcast
Just wish they'd post it the same night it airs.
