  • Good podcast with poor speech quality

    I really enjoy Behind the Money podcasts and this one about GE Vernon is a good example. The podcast provided good information but am sorry to note that the speech quality of Amanda Chu makes it so difficult to understand. Please, please get some speech training, you are a great reporter,

    Michaela Tindera, - keep up the great work.

  • Biased News is so Dull

    Disappointed not in the firing FCT story but in the complete lack of balance. Editorial team were clearly anti-Trump. Desperately lacking in neutral or balanced reporting. Really just a piece of political activism sold as journalism. Poor.

    Kinda weird that FT can be so left leaning. Most episodes sound like NPR about financial issues. Not very enjoyable.

    Weird how the West Coast guy was rubbing people the wrong way, but those people would follow him to a new business. Haha.
