  • News that's entertaining

    Sean, Michael and Adam make business news fun and entertaining. I subscribe to many business podcasts but Fear & Greed is the first one I listen and look forward to every morning. I have told my friends about them. Keep up the great work team!

  • I’d buy the cup!

    Love the show, the insights that you bring are helpful for those who like Michael, want to do a lot of things, but put blockers in front of ourselves. Listening to the show makes me think about the importance of investing and what is happening within the company’s business to make semi informed decisions. Looking forward to future conversations next year on Fear n Greed.

  • Dial down the lefty

    Hey guys, I love you both but please dial down the leftist overtones in your political commentary. If what you want is a propaganda podcast, then so be it. A better approach would be to maintain a neutral position on issues related to Australian politics.

  • Love my daily fix of Fear and agreed

    I start my day with this podcast and love the updates, knowledge and humour of the presenters. I am not however enjoying the current well-being advertising that kicks in asking “keys-yes, water-bottle-yes etc”. Whilst I understand you need advertising I find this jarring and not compatible with the flow of your show.

  • Great Podcast.. but keep it focussed

    Love this Podcast.. I have been listening to it right from the start. We used to listen to it on the drive to school drop off and my teenage son is hooked to it to as well as it is very easy to listen. Love Sean’s regular lessons on economics as well. But have to agree with a lot of the other reviews.. too much cringey chats especially from Michael.. humour and small banter is good.. long cringey chats and irrelevant comments from Michael are not
