I love listening to FT Mews Briefing. They present the news with a concise, neutral tone. Though a lot of the news fixates on the US, I like that they also include international affairs.
Mark and team do a fantastic job on both coverage and delivery. Victoria’s been a great addition to the team, too.
Crisp, intelligent, non-hyped stories backed by the Financial Times deep-resourced reporting.
I listen every weekday to keep up in a world that is changing too fast. I am no financial whiz, but I can always understand the reporting and benefit from the insights. Plus, somehow it is entertaining and can be fun.
A great distilled source to start the day with the right spark, with the professionalism and tact we are used to with the FT.
