Revaluate Podcast
A podcast examining the structural forces behind Canadian politics, law, and foreign policy through expert interviews and solo analysis.
Revaluate is an analytical podcast focused on the foundational systems of Canadian governance. Rather than chasing news cycles, host Afolarin Egbewande uses a mix of solo deep-dive monologues and long-form interviews with academics to dissect complex topics like constitutional law, judicial power, and foreign policy doctrine. The show's purpose is to explain the 'why' behind major political and institutional shifts in Canada.
“Its primary distinction is the focus on making dense academic and legal concepts accessible, often by explicitly asking guests to explain the real-world relevance of their work. The blend of solo analysis with expert interviews on a single topic stream provides a well-rounded perspective.”

What you'll be asked on this show
The host's interview style is patient and methodical. He often begins by establishing the guest's credentials and the scope of their research before diving into the core topic. He frequently summarizes a guest's complex points in more accessible language and then asks a follow-up question to build on that simplified foundation. A signature move is to explicitly ask, "Why should the average person care?" to connect academic concepts to the lives of the audience. He also plays devil's advocate, presenting counter-arguments from hypothetical 'critics' to allow the guest to address potential objections to their thesis.
The podcast alternates between two formats: solo monologue episodes analyzing a specific issue and long-form, one-on-one interviews with academic experts. The host, Afolarin, is known for using clear analogies to explain complex ideas and for structuring conversations to bridge academic theory with everyday impact.
