Has really gone downhill
Used to be a fantastic show I couldn’t miss having most mornings. Lately, it’s less about FINANCIAL news (hence name Financial Times) and all about war and global conflict. Not even about how war impacts business or finance but just generally about war. The FT has longer form weekend shows that are better suited for that kind of information. I come here for information about the markers and how they impact my job as an M&A lawyer and potential investments in my personal life. The FT doesn’t seem to be doing that anymore. They used to be the first to report a lot of financial news, and I gained a lot of insights from them. Now they seem to be behind the curve and report about things after everyone else already has or at the earliest at the same time as everyone else. The old hosts don’t ever seem to be on here, and they really made the show. I don’t enjoy the new hosts as much. I’m not some older stuck in my ways person either. I’m in my late 20’s and welcome change when the change is positive. These changes are not positive in my experience. It’s a shame. I used to recommend this show to so many people and listen almost every morning but now I can go a week or more without listening and not miss it. Then when I do listen I’m disappointed. They need to go back to how things were and get either the old hosts back or good, consistent hosts and focus more on financial news rather than other types of news which we could hear anywhere else. I miss the old show.

I’d hate to be the guy who has to wipe down the studio after the recording. Might as well hire Sylvester the Cat to host...

As long as there’s a quick market overview each time this will stay a constant part of my morning news
