  • Could be so much better without the PWC sycophancy.

    I like the host. He’s a great commentator on business issues and news.

    I like the interviews, but the whole PWC sycophancy drives me mad so I’ve stopped listening to it. It’s demeaning to the presenters to say what they say and it’s embarrassing to listen to because it’s just so insincere

  • Misguided

    Listening to a show about affordable housing with someone from Grainger. Having just looked at their website the cheapest places to rent in cities like Sheffield and Cardiff is £1400 for a 1-bed. Not sure how this in any way reflects the issues in this country. This is expensive housing still aimed at sharing professionals and the middle classes. Real shame The Times is that out of touch.

  • Important Work

    These are exactly the topics that should be front and center in discussions about tech today. In fact, the dominance of tech in our lives means these are the most important questions of our time.

    Very valuable listen.

    Thank you!
