  • What happened to Squawk Pod’s journalism?

    I’ve been a Squawk Box and Squawk Pod listener for years. The appeal was always the same: smart, skeptical business journalism that took markets seriously, pressed powerful people on their numbers, and didn’t let politicians or CEOs skate by on vibes. Becky Quick asking the uncomfortable follow-up. Andrew Ross Sorkin cross-referencing what a guest just said with what they wrote in their last shareholder letter. Even Joe Kernen, at his best, played a useful role — the contrarian who made guests d... more

  • Joe ruins the show

    I used to love this show. Joe makes it un-listenable/un-watchable lately. Kudos to Becky and Aaron for working so hard to dance around the partisanship and his moods. On to another show unfortunately…..

  • Pls retire soon Joe and Becky….

    Please *REPORT* the news and not share your *PERSONAL* views constantly, the viewers are not interested in your biased opinions!!!

    Joe “MAGA”Kernan might as well start working for Karoline Leavitt as her assistant… Becky Quick never has the backbone to stand up to Joe to counter his viewpoints. Such a horrible show!!
