  • Has turned into one long ad

    I love this podcast and in particular Robert Preston’s insights into the economy, policy and wider world view. However I have recently found it has morphed into one long ad. There appear to be more ads than content - in comparison with other podcasts. It is very frustrating to listen to.

  • Hargreaves

    When are you going to start talking about Hargreaves taking investor interest? They make a huge proportion of their profits from not paying interest that is received back to the client in other words a hidden charge. If this were dividends that they were withholding or growth that they skimmed you would be all over it!

    Unless they have a good guest, these presenters don’t seem like experts on economy or money. They are losing the plot a bit

  • Losing Impartiality

    Was a big fan for the incisive content, but in recent months it’s lost more & more of the balance impartiality I enjoyed that came with the standard of journalism, and has gone more & more left wing. Eg Stories around Trump / Iran overladen with comments that assume everyone’s default opinion must be that Trump is a bad guy.

    I’m no Trump fan, but I don’t hate him either, and there are more examples involving different subjects going back several months. An informative economics podcast just isn... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

263. Iran War: protecting the UK economy from the energy crisis
Q: If you could change one thing to help Britain's economy grow, what would it be?
Greg Jackson suggests targeted reforms that enable investment in British businesses, including more conducive pension fund allocations and growth-friendly energy and planning policies.
262. Does the Chancellor have a growth plan at last?
Q: How is AI adoption affecting jobs and productivity, and is the government addressing this?
There is broad concern among business leaders about job displacement due to AI, but the speech largely overlooks the workforce transition and retraining mechanisms needed to support workers.
262. Does the Chancellor have a growth plan at last?
Q: Would closer access to the EU single market be worth the political and financial costs?
It could be advantageous for services access and reduced red tape if the EU cooperates and if the UK is prepared to bear some cost, but the arrangement would be conditional and politically contentious.
262. Does the Chancellor have a growth plan at last?
Q: What should be the focus of the additional powers to mayors to maximize growth in their regions?
They should enable spending aligned with tangible growth outcomes, such as skills, housing, and infrastructure, while ensuring accountability and local adaptation to community needs.
258. How AI changes everything we should teach kids
Q: What role should governments play in AI, and can policy keep up with rapid technological change?
Governments face urgent daily concerns, making long-term planning hard, but policy should focus on enabling safe, widespread AI adoption and preparing the workforce for a transformed economy.
