  • The Big Tick Asia is a great podcast

    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.

  • Great show but episodes are too short

    Excellent reporting on a wide range of topics. But 15 minutes is barely enough time to scratch the surface. Fine for a daily podcast; too short for a weekly show.
