- An unsubtle advert for pwc
This show is basically a thinly vailed advert for PWC. Completely biased and an opportunity to showcase their products . Not very in-depth . The end of every show feels like the outcome is we should seek PWC for more information. PWC should just be upfront and claim this is a PWC product showcase podcast. Many companies have those. Don't try and hide it as "business insights".

A very well presented business podcast.

United Kingdom10 months ago - 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
Apple Podcasts3skt9999United Kingdom10 months ago - 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.
Apple Podcasts3Nathan C UKUnited Kingdom10 months ago - 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!
