Customer Reviews
Great podcast!
Just listened to the Jonathan Emile "Survivor" episode, spectacular!
Another taxpayer funded boondoggle
So CBC the state broadcaster takes 1 billion a year to produce podcasts now? Not in your federal mandate I believe. Plus Quebec itself is a non confederating money pit, takes more federal equalization than 2 islands. Please separate and take your debt with you.
Love it!
Touching, moving! J'adore!!
