I’ve been a member of the WEF book club on Facebook for years and find it an invaluable place to swap recommendations and learn what other people are reading. Imagine my delight when Beatrice DiCaro decided to launch it as a podcast. I’m really looking forward to seeing what guess she can land in the coming weeks and months.
Apple Podcasts5podmonster!Switzerland4 years ago - Excellent
Engaging and informative, with an excellent line-up of authors so far. Adam Grant in particular stood out to me, he’s a fantastic communicator with original ideas on the world of work. And Elif Shafak is just brilliant, love her work.
Apple Podcasts5Ross ChaineySwitzerland4 years ago - If you’re into robots sounding humanlike
Just another angle to share WEF propaganda in an effort to make it sound logical. Scary stuff & waste of time. Make up your own mind and inform yourself and take the logical conclusion. Telling you what to do or think, and shaming others, is ALWAYS wrong.

Do yourself a favor and pass on listening to the propaganda
Apple Podcasts1solddddUnited States4 years ago - Meh..
Conversation sounds canned.
Apple Podcasts2F off with adsUnited States4 years ago - Vomit worthy
Terrible just a bunch of rich people with huge egos that want to control you talking round in a circle jerk
Apple Podcasts1Tyler101239United States4 years ago - You’ll own nothing and be happy
The WEF is run by the global elite peddling their utopia nonsense to gain evermore power and control.

Australia4 years ago - exciting podcast
Very exciting podcast but challenging because they are basically trying to take over the world. So no surprise that they have a very charismatic speaker to subtly and subliminally try to enthusiastically change people’s thinking to accept anything they want to push.
Apple Podcasts2DhdjjdjdcucidnedUnited States4 years ago - Total propaganda
These guys haven’t studied history. Incompetence doesn’t even begin to describe
Apple Podcasts1Travis LeichtUnited States4 years ago - Not a fan
There are better podcasts to learn about investing and finance. This is the garbage that those in power want you to believe.
