I love getting to hear journalists who have been on a beat for a while tell us the big stories.
The Sixth Bureau episodes are amazing!
Why does the American host pronounce the name of this fine podcast as “The Big Tick”? I’m not the only one hearing this, right?
That’s my sole criticism of a top-notch news podcast telling fascinating stories about Asia’s business world and the personalities who make it move. I learn something interesting and vital every week. Keep up the great work, Big Tick crew.
