Best Of Canada Is Boring

After 499 episodes proving that Canada is anything but boring, we’ve reached Episode 500, and we’re handing the microphone to the people who made it possible.

This special milestone episode of Canada Is Boring is a chaotic, heartfelt, occasionally abusive celebration featuring listener voice notes and a best-of clip reel pulled from hundreds of episodes.

This episode isn’t a victory lap. It’s a noisy thank-you card to everyone who listened, shared an episode, yelled at us online, or sent a voicemail that forced us to double-check the facts.

Onwards to the next strange Canadian story.
