Ok,confession time. I realise I’ve been suffering from what used to be called “cultural cringe”. This harks back to earlier decades of the country’s history. Anything from the “mother country” must be automatically better than anything produced by the colonies (hence why a lot(most?) of our...Read full review »

Often a good, interesting look at the week when the journalists run it. The last episode got in Editor-in-Chief Michael ‘Stutch’ Stutchbury in. In contrast to the regular hosts ‘Stutch’ is a humourless old whiner more akin to an Innes Willox like curmudgeon for hires . The type of bloke whose...Read full review »

A low rating from me, for the revealing & jawdropping reference in S2Ep7 to a well known renewables advocate & nuclear disparager as one of the country’s energy experts. A lifetime in the bureaucracy, with a late career appointment to a govt review of energy security, is limited expertise...Read full review »

I love this podcast and I listen to every episode. This episode highlighted the findings of the WGEA report and the discussion was very interesting.

This is a favourite podcast. I enjoy the relaxed format of their conversation - and I appreciate listening to two people who are in touch with all aspects of the financial world (and who also have a great sense of humour).

As a NED with a portfolio of listed, private and government boards, I find the weekly both informative and entertaining. James and Anthony synthesize the issues arising in the business and finance markets each week in an easy to digest way. I also enjoy their answers to the questions as...Read full review »

Fantastic pod. Best in all the land. Compulsory listening. Super insightful and really entertaining.

As a woman in the finance industry and long-standing AFR subscriber, it is grating to hear these two guys constantly use the term “guys” to refer to generic groupings of people in the industry - e.g. the super fund guys, the property guys, the fund manager guys etc

The guys provide concise and well rounded commentary on market and business news in Aus

Great pod for a weekly update on all things finance. Jargon is kept to a minimum and if used, the team explain what it means.

It’s like listening to two suits chatting over a craft beer, and the listener considered fortunate to witness their in-jokes. Pretty emblematic of financial services overall, really. Have been unable to make it to the end of any episode. Someone teach these guys what narrative means, please.

Very good quality information

Great to listen to and for staying on top of the main financial insights each week.
Alexaosmith via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/18/23
A concise and clear summary analysis of the week’s most important issues and topic’s keeping me up to date as well as securing a better understanding of the underlying trends.

Have been a listener for 12 months now and I love the commentary on all things business and finance affecting Australian markets.

The content of this podcast is robust and complex but the energy and the way it is delivered and produced is calm and warm. It had a lovely irreverence to it in a medium where there are often a lot of people competing and shouting. This is a wonderful and refreshing tonic! Thank you, AFR:...Read full review »

Really appreciate the market analysis from two very experienced business columnists from AFR. Thank you Tony Boyd and James Thomson!
~~JoannaN~~ via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 04/10/23
Listened to 4 episodes now and have to say how much I am enjoying this podcast. Current, sharp analysis by top AFR journalists and yet, a lovely, amiable, yet, laconic style to the repartee. Don’t always agree with everything these two say (e.g. independence of AGL board nominees) but it is...Read full review »

This has quickly become one of my favourite podcasts. James and Tony present the information succinctly and in an easy-to-understand way, with some humour and light-heartedness thrown in. The punchy 30 min episodes are great. 5 stars.
Kellie Johnston via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/14/22
Ok the title would normally be an oxymoron but these guys are inciteful AND entertaining. The calm and rationale Tony Boyd ( with a real voice for radio) and the slightly more excitable James Thompson jam about the latest finance news and somehow keep it understandable for the non finance...Read full review »

I look forward to this entertaining summary of the financial week.A must each Saturday morning. I was a little disappointed that the chaps let the ABC Journo off the hook for predicting the demise of Credit Swiss. That sort of action gives Journos a bad name and should be taken to task.

Great weekly insights of markets

Good, honest, stripped back weekly business review.
Jackyb8324 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 09/27/22
Thanks Tony and James - great to have my favourite business columnists in one podcast. Love your work.
Sally Loane via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 09/18/22
I once wanted to be journalist myself but, sadly, didn’t have either the brains for it or the gift of the gab. Both these guys do and are a pleasure to listen too.
Pouchbastard via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 09/17/22
Two of the best business journalist in the country discuss the current business and investment issues in a clear and incisive manner. The spectrum of views give good insight into the different ways of interpreting current events. It’s great to see the AFR finally embrace digital audio, even if...Read full review »
