Podcasts permit a shift of listening time from a set appointment to virtually
any convenient occasion. I do it while taking my daily (more or less) 3 mile
walk, while I’m “plodding along”.
While there are thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, of great podcasts from
other sources, the ones sponsored via public radio have been vetted through the
worthy objectives of the medium.
Here’s what I’ve been listening to recently. I hope you might find these
suggestions — in roughly 90 minute bites -- helpful in enhancing your own
enjoyment of radio, our favorite medium.

“It's campaign time! Here's everything you need to know”
THE HOUSE - CBC Radio One
We’ve waited a long time for this. On Sunday, Prime Minister Mark Carney is
expected to ask the Governor General to dissolve Parliament and call a federal
election — thrusting the parties into what is certain to be a dynamic, historic
campaign. For starters, let’s get with you up to speed with a starter guide to
campaign 2025, courtesy of CBC’s chief political correspondent Rosemary Barton.
Then, Conservative House leader Andrew Scheer joins the show to discuss his
party’s response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats and his party’s
promise to cut the industrial carbon tax.
Next, host Catherine Cullen stops by the NDP campaign headquarters in Ottawa to
check in with Anne McGrath — senior adviser to leader Jagmeet Singh — about the
party’s outlook heading into the campaign.
Plus, the director of the Media Ecosystem Observatory explains what worries him
about the information voters are getting online this election — and how you can
make sure you don’t get duped.
Finally, as political polls go into overdrive, two analysts dissect how seat
projections and party popularity numbers actually work.
This episode features the voices of:
• Rosemary Barton, CBC’s chief political correspondent
• Andrew Scheer, Conservative House leader
• Anne McGrath, senior advisor to NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh
• Aengus Bridgman, director of the Media Ecosystem Observatory
• Philippe Fournier, editor-in-chief of 338Canada
• Éric Grenier, author and publisher of thewrit.ca (50”)
