  • Great show and insightful topics

    However I would definitely enjoy the episodes more if the guests would actually come into the studio for the interview instead of talking over the phone, because it’s often impossible to understand anything they say at all. And that’s the only reason for me to grant 3 out of 5 starts instead of all 5.

  • Daily?

    Wharton Business Daily is the title, but lacking daily content. Is content being recorded and subsequently not posted? Seems like this podcast leans one direction politically so wondering if missed episodes are a result of unfavored opinions or discussions?
