  • Massive disappointment

    The most recent episode was not information but political diatribe. If this is representative of editors, you should be ashamed. Let me know when you discuss banking.

  • Guests carry the show

    AB gets great guests however the interviewer is a VERY poor driver of the conversation- often I find that they completely miss the point of what was said and even go so far as to state the antithesis of the guest’s point
