  • The podcast that broadened my mornings

    Sad to see it go. It was always sharp, insightful and surprisingly entertaining for something labelled “business”. Having it drop in the early morning made it my daily companion on the commute — far more useful than the coffee I spilled listening to it.

He continuously have been asking guests questions with assumptions instead of knowing what actually occurred or what policies were written yet, repeats it with authority and as fact. It’s gotten so bad in past months that guests have had to continuously correct him on the same po... more
