About this episode
The episode serves as a trailer for the show, highlighting its focus on bizarre and entertaining stories from Canadian history and culture.
Hosted by Rhys, a new Canadian with an outsider’s obsession for the country’s strangest stories, and Jesse, a proudly disengaged average Canadian, the show digs into the weirdest moments in Canadian history, politics, crime, culture, and folklore. From mystery tunnels and dead raccoon vigils to government “gaydar” machines, border brawls, Olympic snowboarders turned cartel figures, and the time the U.S. Army gassed Winnipeg, Canada Is Boring turns the overlooked, absurd, and unbelievable corners of Canadian life into addictive, hilarious storytelling. Part history show, part comedy podcast, part national identity crisis, Canada Is Boring is for anyone who likes their learning with jokes, their politics with chaos, and their Canadian facts deeply, deeply strange. The show has built a loyal audience by making Canadian stories feel surprising, accessible, and genuinely entertaining, earning recognition as Canada’s No. 1 Politics Podcast on Goodpods, breaking into the Top 5 Podcasts in Canada on Apple Podcasts, hitting No. 1 Trending on Spotify Canada, and reaching No. 3 in Canada for Comedy. Whether you’re Canadian, new to Canada, Canadian-curious, or just looking for weird…
