  • Soumaya is wonderful to listen to

    Terrific to have Soumaya back. As exemplified by this one on the U.K./India trade deal, her scripting is so well paced and her questions acute, hitting all the main points of interest for the listener. Soumaya is wonderful to listen to. Congratulations on the new child, and look forward to getting a copy of the new book with Chad Brown.

  • Big Ego

    Generally find the show informative but had to turn off the December 17 episode after Martin Wolf not only plugged his own writing 3 times in the first 11 minutes, but claimed that one listener's question had stolen what is a very generic idea from him.

    A little humility please, Mr.
