  • The rest is Reform?

    I like listening but I didn’t expect to hear canvassing for Nigel Farage on here… at least have some balance. Do those on the north east have short memories on Brexit and that NHS bus? Did their lives improve at all or is it all down to immigration again?

    Come on.

  • misleading name

    The hosts seem a lot more interested in making a “rest is politics lite” podcast than a podcast about money and finance

  • Enjoyable, and informative content.

    The show I find on the whole, very informative. They have some interesting guests and I would generally say it’s worth a listen, especially if you have an interest in economics.

    Steph is the weak link. She doesn’t seem to bring much experience and knowledge to the show. I think she is on there to perhaps make it more relevant, and not so high brow, but i want to hear from experts and not hear her anecdotes.
