If you’re interested in intelligent political discussion that incorporates view points from major Canadian political parties, you should check out the podcasts hosted by David Herle. He has regular guests that are active in Conservative, Liberal, and NDP politics. And they are all calm and reasoned discussions among people with widely varying viewpoints. It’s political talk for grown ups instead of agitators.
- The Herle Burly Podcast. A wide variety of guest discussing political issues of the day. Generally, from the perspective of the issue rather than which politician is winning.
- Curse of Politics. Nitty gritty discussions from political strategists about how the political parties and politicians should be maneuvering.
Based on the advertisements, I think these podcasts are listed to by the people in power because CN and Telus don’t need to talk to me that much.
