Great! Informative and very funny! Thanks, we have needed this for a looooong time!

Description

Canadian and Global Politics, Unspun.

Politics is messy, loud, and usually full of nonsense. Politics Is Broken takes all that chaos, filters it through a Canadian sense of humour, and hands it back in a way that actually makes sense. Hosted by Brittlestar (Stewart Reynolds) and Lisa B., it’s smart, funny, and just irreverent enough to make the news bearable.
