  • The only way to start your day

    I love Mark Filippino’s work on the FT news briefing. There was a moment where they introduced horrible and loud ads at the beginning of the podcast, which was, thank god, promptly removed. Keep it up, i listen daily since 2020.

  • The best!

    Crisp, intelligent, non-hyped stories backed by the Financial Times deep-resourced reporting. The show also what I can only describe as an uplifting personality, whatever is going on in the world of news.

  • Interesting and insightful podcast!

    I started to listen to this when I didn’t really know much about finance etc. It became part of my morning routine and it’s one of the early achievements in my day . I love Marc’s hosting and sometimes would be upset if it’s not him. I hope this podcast continues to produce good contents. Hope the podcast can have more explanation when there’s certain terminology than it currently has. Keep going!
