Still good, but taken a dip
Checked in recently; it’s gotten worse … just a little. Of course the answer to racial inequality is to give black families more money. And of course democracy is in danger from Trump and polarization. Maybe if news outlets like this would just once in a while hire a conservative, you’d see a bit more trust and a little less polarization. (Old review) Years ago, I gave this 5 stars; was one of my top 3. Sadly, NPR management must have listened to an episode and found there were not enough democratic advertisements. So, they went political. Recently, it’s gotten better, but still too biased for me to trust them. Too bad. I miss the old one. The Robocall invasion, the value of an index traded fund, even the Starbury just surprised me in a good way. But the FTX episode was outstanding, so I’ll keep them for now.

I really feel like I know and understand 10 times as much about what's going...Read full review »

I cannot believe that this is just a free podcast and not a top npr radio show. Entertaining and informative. I hope they continue
