4.3 out of 5 stars from 1.2k ratings
  • Used to really enjoy it

    Listened to it every day when Micky was on it - but now so much of the show is political - and not at all balanced. I think the presenters think the Brexit referendum is upcoming and it’s their sole role to stop it. Ten years on it’s tiresome. Rarely get to end of an episode now.

  • Very good but what’s happened to the editing?

    I listen to the podcast rather than the live show and find it a useful way to start my day. The presenters are very good and don’t allow the contributors to get away with jargon which I like. This would have been 5 stars but recently the editing has been pretty awful, take the job away from the work experience person please

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Back to the tariff board
Q: What does the latest development of the 15% tariffs mean for the US economy and consumers?
It means there are guardrails on how extreme and quickly tariffs can be imposed, but uncertainty remains.
Back to the tariff board
Q: What does this mean for you? Have you been able to work out some rapid sums on what this new 15% tariff will mean for your business?
It's confusing and frustrating as we are trying to just move forward under these new tariffs.
Musk's "innovation engine"

Not in the short term; this is more of a long-term play.
Musk's "innovation engine"
Q: What does this mean for Tesla once Musk moves on?
The IPO of SpaceX and the combination of these two businesses will not necessarily mean he does not have the bandwidth for Tesla, but if there is succession planning, it could impact market sentiment toward Tesla.
A smooth finish?
Q: How do you feel about the inflation data and its implications for the Bank of England?
The broader trend is for inflation to fall, which should be good news for the Bank of England.
