- Clear bias
Leave it to the FT to evidence clear bias in the guest selection and the snide comments. How about trying something unique, let’s try not to evidence your severe TDS. I have had enough. I don’t need to hear another word.

This season is such a disappointment. You have what could be interesting topics, but for whatever reason everything has to be tied back to Trump this, Trump that. We get it; you're obsessed. Not all of us are.

I really enjoy your podcast. The historical topics are very interesting and I am learning about things that I heard about but at the time when it was actually happening I was to young to understand

United States3 months ago - So disappointing
Such an interesting set of topics but they make it so hard to keep listening. Tett is just not good at interviewing or presenting and Wigglesworth for all his amazing FTA articles, just can’t weave a spoken narrative or ask good questions. They are trying to copy OddLots but they lack the chemistry and the interview skills. Very disappointing. You might as well have Siri read an article.

Oh dear, the presenters treat listeners like morons. Great subject spoiled by presenters trying to make it ‘accessible’. I gave up rather quickly.
