  • Informative show but

    Informative show but stop interrupting the one woman. Wanted to hear her point and the host kept cutting her off.

  • Unfair in perspective. Although that might have been my first impression. They might be a bit more balanced than I initially thought. Also, not family friendly language.

  • Great show, Timothy Lees voice is unlistenable tho

    Love this show, but had to turn off the one episode w Timothy Lee. He is not suited for an audio medium.

    Also Felix’s take on effective altruism is total bunk! It’s all a cover! It’s 100% an excuse for greed! What’s EA got to show for itself? And how many people got rich telling themselves and every gullible fool around them that they were really looking out for someone else!? And how much did they improve others’ lives?!? Give me a break!

  • What happened to Thrilling Tales?!?

    This was, up until this point,a show called “Thrilling Tales of Captialism” full of interesting stories about the history of business. Now it has suddenly become “Slate Business” and a “How To” podcast with episodes about generic business topics? Not cool. If you cancel a show close the feed. This is click farming.

What Next: TBD | Rebroadcast: Dupes!
Q: How much did that cost her and why did she decide that was worth it?
