- Great effective news compilation
I always appreciated that Wall Street Journal avoids boring British“culture” stories unlike the Economist. That ended today when they did a long, obnoxious, useless story about “gentlemen‘s relish”. What a waste of my time. Of all the news stories there are to report on… and nobody wants to hear you guys eat on your podcast.

United States14 days ago - Useless interview??
I get so frustrated by the WSJ interviewers who do not take the opportunity to
Challenge a politician
You just take what he or she says and move
on to the next question. Be challenging otherwise it’s a useless interview
Apple Podcasts32501123United Statesa month ago - My Have to listen to every day
My absolute favorite podcast to stay up-to-date with what’s going on in the world. It is very fast and efficient with talking about 20 topics in 15 mins. You get the quick headlines of everything going on so you are never out of touch. It also has a very math, economical money, oriented, and less touchy-feely sad news.

It’s This. Smart people give and analyze facts. Thank you WSJ.
Apple Podcasts5SimpleReviewYes?United States2 months ago - Good reporting
please stop interspersing AI to tell the backstory of the news. It sounds too perfect and is clear that it is different voices in AI giving the backstory
Luke Vargas has a great voice that is not distracting and very clear. News seems factual without editorializing. My only complaint is in the past few episodes WSJ seems to be sprinkling in AI voices to report certain aspects of the news. It sounds AI and honestly not needed. Please cut out the AI reporting! It’s obvious.
