Welcome to The Paikin Podcast

You don’t have to have an opinion on everything. In fact, Steve Paikin hasn’t had an opinion since 1976. It was about Frank Sinatra. On The Paikin Podcast, he explores provincial and federal politics, seismic global changes, hot-button cultural issues and the arts, all with his usual balance and context and all in search of maybe, one day, having an opinion again.
