  • 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 | 2025: The Meme of the Year

What Next: TBD | Whole Shopping List
Q: I wonder if you think we're going to see Whole Foods be more integrated into the Amazon brand?
I can't see a scenario where Whole Foods decides not to be a specialty grocer anymore; they are still a leader in that space.
What Next: TBD | Whole Shopping List
Q: Is that because of who shops in a grocery store? Is it like less tech forward people, or is it just that we want to like pick up the tomato and look at it?
It has way more to do with just the simplicity of the shopping experience; people want to pick up produce.
What Next: TBD | Whole Shopping List
Q: How do you think the kind of leap was made on Amazon's side? How did they go from, hmm, this convenience store thing isn't working to, we want to buy the fancy grocery store?
Amazon saw another sector of retail they're not fully in, and wanted a piece of it.
