TekkygalManitobaCan you come to Ontario. You are right on target. Our healthcare workers are burned out and in languishing. They need investment here in Ontario, in Manitoba and across this country! Thankful for the representation for your perspective.

BethSYoungUncommon Common SenseMatt Galloway is an incredibly talented interviewer. He’s able to report calmly, clearly, and humanely. The topics chosen show the depth and texture of Canadian politics, society, and culture.

SiobbahnMy new favorite interviewer, Matt GallowayHave become a huge fan of The Current since Matt Galloway joined. He is one of the best interviewers and journalists. Always insightful, well-prepared, compassionate, and fantastic story teller, who let's the interviewee and their story be the star and regularly brings out a new perspective to the story that other outlets miss. Highly recommend you make this part of your daily listening as I have. You won't be sorry!

HibiscusAnother really good one.When doing boring stuff, this helps keep my brain active.
-
lyric.mamaStrong variety in interviews.I appreciate the varied topics but have real trouble when an interviewer *constantly* interrupts the interviewee (eg. Duncan McCue in his ADHD segment). The expert speakers knew a lot about their topics and were illustrating to their points efficiently. (I am left to wonder if this was a topic of self interest for the interviewer and if impulse control was at play. It devalued the potential of the interview, in my opinion.)
-
mbadocImpatient and rudeReally great topic on Early Cancer Screening episode - however the host kept interrupting the guest speaker to wrap up. I felt stressed listening
-
marlainreallifeRelatable host covering tough topics.The current does a wonderful job of keeping the topics covered interesting and modern. The host, Anna Maria, makes me feel like I’m talking to a friend. She’s humble and relatable, smart without being condescending. Thanks so much! Love the program!!

Expat Listener66Hard Core LeftistI like to listen to The Current to hear the latest in hard core leftist thinking. Very useful.

Alex K, 00World class journalism.The Current is hands down my favorite in depth news source. Anna Maria Tremonti (sp?) is simply brilliant and the show is incredibly well-produced. The interviews are consistently fascinating, well-balanced, and go into depth on issues you wouldn't otherwise think about, yet are timely and important. This is as good as it it gets for this genre of journalism.
-
Visuals UnnecessaryThe CurrentSharp interviews, or documentaries - beautifully edited, concise and artful. Intensely relevant stories/issues, right to the point, but often heart-wrenchingly personal. Varied topics, some more captivating than others, of course, but all socially, politically and personally told. From the CBC (Canada), among the very best radio producers. Not locally limited, only occasional Canadian provincial politics. (I am an American.)
