  • Episode 56

    Normally a great listen, and I’d recommend it to anyone. But episode 56 was very disappointing. It’s nice to not always get into politics, but when the leader of the ruling party in Canada steps down and Sarah moves past it like nothing happened because she doesn’t want to say negative things about Liberals that’s a little wild. Only episode I have ever had a problem with. Will still listen, and still recommend it to anyone.

  • Disappointed

    I listened to the podcast on a number of occasions so I could provide a accurate review (in my opinion). Unfortunately the podcast did not improve in quality. I find TLDR to be amateurish and if I the listener is 5 years old and in kindergarten.

  • Not as good as it was

    Edit: it’s been a while that it became less about real world economy and more about hedge fund dudes and stock market. Revising my review.

    ———————————

    It’s a fun and interesting podcast, hope it lasts. The only thing I don’t like is the “hedge fund guy” that makes me wanna puke every time he emits an opinion… but, well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
