  • Informative & entertaining

    Love this show…because it gives you insights into some of the best financial minds we have, hedge fund managers, economists and bankers. What makes it great though, is the entertainment factor. Merryn is very sharp and is a great character, she bounces off John who’s laid back and very insightful. It’s like eavesdropping on two friends talking about the markets over a coffee. Great stuff 👍

  • I wonder why or if

    This is a great podcast and I want to ask if there a reason why your not looking at the impact of war(s) on the economy looking back and the present

    No one has or does there those that get rich from it form wise and yet the impact it has needs to be looked at

    So I challenge you to be brave and get forensic analysis on it

    Thanks

    Do you think this labour finance minister is walking the UK of a cliff edge with her stubbornness of not touching tax?
