  • Extremely informative and exceptional guests

    As a listener from the US, I find it extremely helpful to get perspectives from the FT and their guests that are a half-step removed from what is happening here. I think every host and guest is well informed and considerate and does a good job trying to understand what is happening in the world, how that aligns or doesn’t align with generally accepted economic principles and ideas, and why people view the world in the way they do. I especially enjoyed the recent Krugman-Wolf exchanges.
