  • Left Wing Trash

    Nothing redeeming about their reporting. Their primary motivation seems to be to advance their liberal ideologies rather than any real economic information. Don’t waste your time.

  • Could be improved

    The interviews and information provided is interesting but opinion is too often presented as fact. It would be better if the speakers differentiated between their take aways and other point of views.

  • Too many obituaries

    Lately it feels like there are three obituaries a week. I listen to the intelligence to get a quick overview of current events while getting ready in the morning. The obituaries don’t fit that goal. Maybe give them their own separate show that can be punished when relevant?
