A Peanut in the Rain episode of CBB is the best visually, with PFT and Mike Hanford in costume and Gillian Jacobs with a prop baby. Plus it has a legendary "yes, and" moment in it.

Considering the Liberals have supported changing our current cycle of alternating between Anglo and Franco GGs in order to include Indigenous people into the mix, my money's on Mary Simon. Of course, before she began her long career in diplomacy and academia, Simon worked for CBC North.

I made the mistake of listening to last week's episode on the walk to my car after work. When one of the callers said that he took his grandma to go see Monster's Ball when it was in theatres I had to stop the podcast, and it took everything I had not to break down laughing hysterically until I was alone.

Yeah that was a really challenging episode last week. For a guy who isn't overly political, Chris Gethard really knew his stuff, but was restrained enough not to embarrass the caller. After hearing her story of lifelong struggle of loss, poverty, and abuse, it helped illustrate that Trump supporters aren't a vile…

I read waaay too deeply into the "Contemporaries" category and assume it had to be a fellow world leader in the 1860's, preferably one who was fighting for reunification, so I had guessed Garibaldi with Bismarck being my second choice.

It took me a little while to really get into it, but it's now a permanent part of my weekly political podcast rotation (along with the Gabfest, the Weeds, and a few Canadian ones). Like the other shows, it does a good job of providing deeper analysis than most mainstream outlets, while also being a pleasant and fun…

Glad to see CANADALAND get some Podmass love. It's far from perfect, but it generally does a pretty good job of exploring complex or under-reported stories and keeping the media in check.

The best thing about the election now laying in the hands of Congress: more Furlong.

I never expected my favourite Veep ep to come from the post-Iannucci era, but here we are. "Mother" was an awe-inspiring episode of television. Truly deserving of the rare AV Club A+ in my mind.

It was also amazingly the second use of "Polack" in two days on Earwolf. Chris Tallman's racist puppet character used the term when he appeared on Pistol Shrimps Radio last Wednesday.
