# Politics Is Broken A podcast by Brittlestar. Canadian and Global Politics, Unspun. Politics is messy, loud, and usually full of nonsense. Politics Is Broken takes all that chaos, filters it through a Canadian sense of humour, and hands it back in a way that actually makes sense. Hosted by Brittlestar (Stewart Reynolds), Lisa B., and David Moscrop, it’s smart, funny, and just irreverent enough to make the news bearable. www.brittlestar.com Feed: https://media.rss.com/podcast-is-broken/feed.xml ## Latest episodes - [Alberta's 10-Question Identity Crisis & Trump's Physical Exams](https://invisiblenetwork.ai/podcast/1730993828/c9371ffb5206) (2026-10-25, 40 min): audio https://content.rss.com/episodes/311564/3257394/podcast-is-broken/2026_10_22_19_08_01_349177c2-0161-4fd7-928c-9b91ac2a6cfc.mp3 - [Canada’s Social Media Ban Problem](https://invisiblenetwork.ai/podcast/1730993828/a2506f324976) (2026-06-14, 50 min): audio https://content.rss.com/episodes/311564/2914468/podcast-is-broken/2026_06_14_17_41_12_e78384fa-7630-4f51-8a10-840890bb63ad.mp3 - [Hoekstra Go Home!](https://invisiblenetwork.ai/podcast/1730993828/450ac99ef21f) (2026-06-07, 44 min): audio https://content.rss.com/episodes/311564/2893204/podcast-is-broken/2026_06_06_21_22_01_e39b9abe-d33b-4c8f-94f6-9f37bd0769af.mp3 - [F-Bombs In Politics](https://invisiblenetwork.ai/podcast/1730993828/8f1bd7b8046f) (2026-05-31, 45 min): audio https://content.rss.com/episodes/311564/2871820/podcast-is-broken/2026_05_30_20_37_05_976de46a-6634-42b9-a82d-5c08542c291e.mp3 - [The Pros and Cons of Alberta Leaving Canada](https://invisiblenetwork.ai/podcast/1730993828/ae633b4b210b) (2026-05-24, 51 min): audio https://content.rss.com/episodes/311564/2850559/podcast-is-broken/2026_05_22_19_59_16_98000552-17c9-48aa-a16b-9a05913aa635.mp3 - [Should We Take Alberta Separation Seriously?](https://invisiblenetwork.ai/podcast/1730993828/8157dba26905) (2026-05-17, 45 min): audio https://content.rss.com/episodes/311564/2832461/podcast-is-broken/2026_05_17_08_15_18_a82ff4d1-604b-4088-8475-34b35ba3d1cd.mp3 - [Mark Carney's Mistake](https://invisiblenetwork.ai/podcast/1730993828/c6909c2afd39) (2026-05-03, 53 min): audio https://content.rss.com/episodes/311564/2788609/podcast-is-broken/2026_05_03_00_28_37_1e6f65d6-bc43-46c9-8e38-7be9fd4bcd7e.mp3 - [Alberta’s “Slopaganda” Problem](https://invisiblenetwork.ai/podcast/1730993828/ea2819748d20) (2026-04-26, 54 min): audio https://content.rss.com/episodes/311564/2767056/podcast-is-broken/2026_04_25_20_18_33_025d4631-5837-4b5d-8680-133317327ee4.mp3 - [Conservative Death Spiral](https://invisiblenetwork.ai/podcast/1730993828/d029acbeb700) (2026-04-19, 47 min): audio https://content.rss.com/episodes/311564/2745898/podcast-is-broken/2026_04_18_20_04_32_79c2398d-0bf6-4aaf-967f-c39bd2eaf00f.mp3 - [From Convoy to Cabinet?
