Craving Consistency
I believe this podcast has the potential to live up the FT’s reputation for excellence but the lack of consistency in audio quality drags it down. Guest speakers often come across as muffled or unintelligible, which largely erases their contribution to the show. Additionally, in my personal opinion, I believe the staff need more voice training if they are going to represent the FT in an audio program. Mark Filipino does a good job but his cohosts are lackluster at best. Lastly, I think that the FT should offer an ad-free version of its programs for subscribers. I find it a bit irksome that I pay a premium subscription to the paper and am still subjected to ads on their audio content. I think the programs would benefit if the FT adopted a model similar to The Economist for its podcasts.

More reviews of FT News Briefing
The Financial Times is known to be a pro eu paper and it would be great if the podcast didn’t so overtly show that bias and just stuck to finance and companies, and keep politics to a minimum as bias is always likely to be higher when discussing politics.

The ads before and after the podcast are way louder than the podcast itself so protect your ears. FT! Normalize!
