Reviews

4.7 out of 5 stars from 1.7k ratings
  • Slowly Declining

    News selection is good (if a little too skewed towards start ups and crypto for my liking), but the show increasingly feels like a way for the host the sell his startup/business ideas. The ads are becoming questionable too, most recently including THC seltzers…feels very much like the dodgy “pills” you used to see on tabloid websites!

  • The title is four stars

    The name of this podcast is meaningless. The content is good, but the name isn’t.

  • "and quote"

    I'm not sure if he thinks you're supposed to say "and quote" at the end of a quote or if he just pronounces "end" like "and," but either way, it's really annoying.
