  • Great content, sometimes tough listen

    The content is great and I love it most days. Unfortunately one of the female presenters has such a strong, grating American accent I have to skip the days she’s on

    I love this pod, but I cannot bare to listen to the episodes Sonya presents. I’m very sorry - she’s evidently an awesome producer - but I find her voice impossible to listen to.

  • Too out of date

    I used to love the FT News Briefing and listened daily, but I increasingly find the episodes feel out of date by the time I get to them in the morning. I now start my day with Bloomberg Daybreak Europe for a timelier snapshot, and only fit in the FT News Briefing afterward if I have time. It’s still a strong podcast, but I wish it offered fresher updates to match the pace of the news cycle and all the Trump related News

  • English accents

    I really enjoy this podcast. It’s brief & informative with clear explanations for those of us who are not in finance as well as insiders. It gives an economic slant to world news which is helpful. All the presenters are excellent but I particularly enjoyed today…two women with English accents! (The “hi, how’r you!” greetings make me smile.)
