Hungry? @joshuathomasf isn't even a big food guy but @OffMenuOfficial was one of his top podcasts of 2021. "It's a very strict format, but a super weird take on it. I also like that it's super confrontational in the most unnecessary way." More Best Of: cbc.ca/1.6273183

The podcast @joshuathomasf listened to the most in 2020 was @strongsongs. 🎵 🎹 "It's generally about music theory, so it's a topic that could absolutely be dry. But... @kirkhamilton's excitement about the topic comes across in every episode."

A quick scroll through Twitter or Facebook will show you a slew of polarized opinions and bandwagon jumping. It takes effort to separate the necessary from the not so much. So how do we, in the midst of all that noise and fog, hear our thoughts? cbc.ca/1.4712806s

Thought I was used to seeing radio celebrities. But I saw @justchipsdotcom on the streetcar and was star stuck.
