“I’ve warmed to listening to this podcast over the last year or so to the point I rarely miss one and catch up on a Friday night or Saturday morning. Being relatively time poor I don’t have time to read the corresponding column in print or online , but the tone , temper and general measurement of...”Read full review »

“I’ve been a weekly listener from the very start, and I have to say that the addition of Antony M. has improved the program. While I don’t agree with a lot of the political views, I do enjoy the perspectives on financial news. Might want to dial back the green energy obsession though.”

“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 »

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 »

“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”

“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.”

“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 »

“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 »
