News Through a
COMMON SENSE Lens
Jim Csek and Iain Burns cut through the rhetoric to bring you the reality of the news affecting Canada, BC, and our region.
About Our Show
The Really Big Show is a Canadian news show done differently. We move past the talking points to discuss the news of the day through a distinctly Canadian lens, providing the analysis and commentary you won’t find in mainstream soundbites.
Hosted by Jim Csek and Iain Burns, we translate rhetoric into reality with a common-sense approach to the stories affecting Canada, British Columbia, and our local region.
Live every weekday at 9 AM PST, Noon EST. Watch or listen on KelownaNow.com, YouTube, X, and all major podcast platforms.
