Hi there, Steve Patterson here, host of The Debaters, the show where we tackle questions on the minds of Canadians like Should you move back in with your parents? Two of Canada's top comedians are bringing it home when they decide if living with family again is worth it or not. Who's right and who's wrong? Well I guess it's all Relative.

So whether you're listening from your parents' basement or in your own place above ground, don't miss this week's episode of The Debaters, wherever you get your podcasts. This is a CBC Podcast.
