I found this by way of Marketplace, and it uses a similar if slightly more casual journalistic style. Episodes are well-researched and explore multiple points of view on varied subjects. Hosts are personable and charismatic but still professional enough to get their information across clearly.

You have the very best podcast. You pick on interesting subjects. You ask smart questions. You get smart people to be the "talking heads" to answer your questions. (I particularly like when you have on Quartz reporters.) You don't insult the audience's intelligence. Your clarity...Read full review »

Most radio unfriendly voices with a severe lack of basic understanding of how economics works laid out right in the opening of the program.

What a well put together podcast. The production value is incredibly high. These two guys are also engaging and charismatic. Each podcast is fresh and new. I love it.

Actuality is one of my favorite podcasts. It's a great way to learn about very interesting things that are not often reported on. 10/10 would recommendRead full review »

Marketplace + Quartz - what could go wrong? The answer is nothing. This podcast is tops for interesting stories from business and economic culture.

These two are your witty buddies you invite to dinner to dish over random topics that somehow become very important feeling. They do a nice job of breaking down too if mind news or topics without taking themselves too seriously.

Debate is fun. via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/20/16
The first podcast I listened to was the one devoted to the Nepalese earthquake, and I was interested to hear about what it was like on the ground - so to speak. What another reviewer has said about the "clunky" aspect, was true for me as well. Not enough time to really examine what the...Read full review »

I am pleasantly surprised my my love of this show. I tend to like the highly produced and edited species of podcast, so did not expect to enjoy actuality. However, the show is fantastic. The humor is my style entirely and I have learned so much from the guys. The stories are well chosen and told....Read full review »

I like Marketplace, and Actuality is in the same vein of getting well-told stories behind the story. However, the feed puts about six to twelve old episodes in the feed every week, as if I want to listen to every episode every few weeks. No thanks.

I've listened to most of the episodes of Actuality so far and I really like it. I really like Marketplace and it's nice to hear some longer economic stories from their team. I found the story about the business of Everest is really interesting.Read full review »

It was odd and differant, I will revisit after it gets its footing. The hosts are great and have done great pieces on the show so there is much hope.

So far, very informative and fun. I'm a big fan of Marketplace and Quartz (sign up for the daily brief if you haven't already). The hosts are very good at what they do, and the topics have been cool. There's a lot of potential with this podcast. Well done!Read full review »

Wow
Quite an accomplishment, both for Quartz and Tim Fernholz. A must listen.

Love all the Marketplace shows and this is a nice longform addition to their roster. Interesting topics, great sources… I’m subscribed!

I wrote this email to the hosts: "Hi, just wanted to let you know that I love the podcast so far. Learning more about the global economy is fascinating and hearing you two joke around at the end is very funny and endearing. All I want to change is for the episodes to lengthen to a half...Read full review »

Really well done, really interesting. Only critique I would have is regarding the interview with the programmer. It was at some points cringeworthy and a bit clunky. I say cringeworthy because while I appreciated the direct questions, it almost came off as if you were attacking the guy. Also,...Read full review »

This podcast does a deep dive into recent economic stories tying in some historical context (guano is the grandfather of oil apparently). It's good and I like both the format and the hosts, but what I was expecting to hear was behind the mic story development. I was hoping to hear producers...Read full review »
