  • Good podcast with poor speech quality

    I really enjoy Behind the Money podcasts and this one about GE Vernon is a good example. The podcast provided good information but am sorry to note that the speech quality of Amanda Chu makes it so difficult to understand. Please, please get some speech training, you are a great reporter,

    Michaela Tindera, - keep up the great work.

  • Biased News is so Dull

    Disappointed not in the firing FCT story but in the complete lack of balance. Editorial team were clearly anti-Trump. Desperately lacking in neutral or balanced reporting. Really just a piece of political activism sold as journalism. Poor.

    Kinda weird that FT can be so left leaning. Most episodes sound like NPR about financial issues. Not very enjoyable.

    Weird how the West Coast guy was rubbing people the wrong way, but those people would follow him to a new business. Haha.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Inside BCG’s Gaza work scandal
Q: But just to get into some definitions here, what exactly are we talking about when we say compliance or guardrails?
These new risk and compliance functions are much more formal structures that mean partners have to go through rigorous reviews of the clients they're bringing in and the type of work they're bringing in.
Inside BCG’s Gaza work scandal
Q: What has the fallout for BCG been since your reporting came out earlier this month?
BCG has seen partnerships suspended and faces reputational damage after the revelations of their involvement with GHF.
Inside BCG’s Gaza work scandal
Q: So Stephen, what did you find out in your own reporting?
I learned a little bit more about the origins of that pro bono project back in October of 2024. BCG was engaged by a US security contractor called Orbis, which itself was working on behalf of an Israeli think tank.

Q: How has Book Talk changed Barnes & Noble's business?
It has whipped up another wave of enthusiasm around books, but it's not a new concept for me, kids have always loved talking about books.
Fixable: How to bring a business back to life
Q: What were some unconventional choices that you made at Waterstones that you applied to Barnes & Noble?
