Reviews
- Good idea…but
I think this is a good idea for a podcast but I think that it might run the risk of exposing or highlighting the worldview or political persuasion of the podcasters as much as it does of the billionaires…and it does. I still find it interesting and the hosts occasionally bring to light issues that I wasn’t aware of but I also have to weed out their bias which definitely trends progressive

United States22 days ago - Good billionaires don’t exist
The premise of this show is weird. The fact that people in these reviews think it is leftist is hilarious. The concept of a billionaire in a world that accepts homelessness, children living in poverty, a world that cannot find the money to feed the hungry or provide universal healthcare, is inherently immoral. There is no such thing as a “good” billionaire. The system that allows it is corrupt and inherently evil. Have a good day!

United Kingdom2 months ago - Great Show But…
Great show, compelling content and novel approach to telling the story of billionnaires. So much learnt fekm this show. Simon Jack is a pretty good, entertaining and competent presenter, hitting all the right notes. Just can’t stand the Chinese Asian presenter Zing, trying too hard to be a native westerner with accent and slang affectations. The only part of this show i dislike.
Apple Podcasts4Fergie V.United States2 months ago - Season 3 PLEASE!
This is my fav podcast. I love the premise and execution.
You two are very articulate and intelligent.
I enjoy listening and and learning every time.
I hope there is a new season? There must be some more billionaires to scrutinize.
Thanks
