    #72 In the Pocket of Big Opera
    Paul Wells joins Jesse to talk about big opera, Kevin O'Leary and #elbowgate.

    Was #elbowgate overblown by the press or was it appropriate to focus so much on the incident whether or not people want to hear it?

    Do we have to take Kevin O’Leary seriously if he runs for leadership of the Conservative Party?

    What a big opera conspiracy theory reveals about arts coverage in Canada.

    Author and pundit Paul Wells co-hosts.
