I was astounded to hear the hosts had no idea about de dollarisation. It is only one of the most important topics in current finance and they were clueless. Not good for an apparent financial podcast!
Similar to the other AFR podcast, it’s a little soft and waffling for me. And a little bit too politically bias.
No faffing about, straight to the point great attitude!
Personally, I found it a bit more politically driven than i would prefer, but others who enjoy that angle would likely appreciate it.
Whilst the presenters bring no specific knowledge of anything and are loathe to take a strong line, they do a nice roundup of topical events and is a good way to catch up on what’s been happening.

A weekly financial and business briefing hosted by two veteran Australian columnists who dissect macro trends, markets, policy, and corporate governance with brisk banter and data-driven analysis. Episodes frequently cover housing, inflation, central-bank policy, corporate accountability, AI and technology bets, and major market moves, often peppered with listener questions that anchor practical takeaways for investors and executives. Notably, the show maintains a distinctive mix of sharp skepticism toward policy or corporate missteps and a penchant for clear, accessible explanations of complex topics, making it valuable for listeners who want concise, high-signal context on Australia's business and finance environment.
