First up was Michael Pollan author of The Omnivore’s Dilemma and his latest book In Defense of Food. I was eagerly anticipating this interview. I am a bit of a foodie – especially real food. Sure, I enjoy the processed stuff from time to time, but on a day-to-day basis I aim to lessen the [...]

I don’t have too much to say about tonight’s show.
Chris Hunter
The first interview with Chris Hunter was interesting mostly because my knowledge of war is lacking. My only real comment on the interview was the incredible phrase that i had never heard before, “operational theatre.” So creative, such a great euphemism. yes, i am being sarcastic.

I really don’t mind when The Hour does repeats. George is in England doing the Corrie thing etc. which is great. My question is why are they bothering to pretend that they are in Canada this week? Every show is a repeat this week and in every show George says something about the date or [...]

I really can’t say enough about the interview with Hawksley Workman. It was one of the most interesting conversations yet. I didn’t know anything at all about Hawksley before last night.

The Cold Opener had George facing a personal crisis and Wayne popping in to offer some advice.
To be honest I didn’t like the first interview of the show. I disliked it so much the first time that I watched it again just to see if I was being too hard on it. I still think it [...]

First, I have to say that todays show was awesome. George’s intro off the top of the show was hilarious, watch it online while its still up.
Elizabeth May
Great conversation. I thought it was interesting how she was expressing that she would pick Dion over Harper in an election, just reinforcing the “voting strategies” in this country that tend [...]
