4.3 out of 5 stars from 1.2k ratings
  • Lets get back to the style that made this podcast a 5* and worth every minute.

    I I’ve been away for a while due to personal stuff and came back this morning expecting the usual “Wake Up to Money” boost and catch-up. After today’s episode, I’m not sure what I just listened to.

    There was no real focus – it jumped from topic to topic with few clear takeaways. Previous episodes left me with actual lessons and money nuggets; this one didn’t.

    IMO, the show shouldn’t be a news round‑up. It should work more like a think tank: guests unpacking big ideas from the party conferences... more

  • More Will please

    I’ve listened to this podcast for nearly 20 years, but I have to say it’s a bit of a struggle these days. My one star rating relates to Will Bain - if he was presenting every day I would give a 5 star rating. Will is professional, measured, balanced and knows his stuff. He gets the best out of his guests to the benefit of the listener and I wish he was on every day.

    The others I’m afraid clearly have their own view of the world and can’t be bothered to hide it any more. Sean now thinks every... more

  • Always interesting

    Great to have a variety of guests. Helps me understand how the business world works and the real life impacts of decisions made around the world. Presenters always make sure that language is easy to understand and issues are relatable to general public.

  • 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.
