  • Great show

    Keep up great work guys, your pod offers some different insights into financial topics than the many other shows I listen too. Had to listen to Joseph Stiglitz on 1.5x though to avoid skipping, recommend others might want to do the same if feeling it’s a bit slow as some great content there!

  • No more Jon Moynihan types please!

    Love the show and presenter’s dynamic. But guest Moynihan (Thatcher favourite) was allowed to spout low regulation & low taxes propaganda for super posh rich like him. I’d hoped you guys would challenge him. No more political guests please.
