The immediate former host did a better job with this podcast. Back then, the podcast covered economy policy and economic metrics. Today, the current host has an irrational hatred of Baby Boomers and spends all his time talking about how great Gen X is. Millennials don’t care.

Changing this to a short form podcast that doesn’t delve into issues with important facts and stakeholders removes every factor that made this podcast stand apart.

I see a run of five stars, so maybe I'm an outlier, but my first experience with Politico Money was a disappointment. I'm sure Ben you are taking time thinking about this, and it's certainly a hard balance, but I found the level of presentation as half-pregnant, with say the...Read full review »

I’m a Canadian who generally eschews American media, but desperate times and all that. I found this podcast randomly a couple of months ago and find it generally informative and entertaining. The host recently made some comments I now understand were meant in jest, however they were a little...Read full review »

Lightweight discussions on important topics. Generally good guests too. It’s a shame.

Hey Ben I'm a high school student from Australia that loves politics and economics. I love politico money and sit on my phone waiting for the new episode to come out each week. Thanks for the amazing analysis and great guests you get on the podcast it truly is my favorite podcast. Keep it...Read full review »

I am a daily Morning Money reader so I was quite excited for a podcast by Ben. the show is great, the guests are interesting but I have to stop at 4 stars for a reason. The questions need to be tougher. I understand it's incredibly hard to remain unbiased/objective in this day and age but you...Read full review »

I really enjoy the depth of the analysis. I‘m always looking forward to the next episode!

Ben White is always well prepared and well articulated.

Mike, I listen to your Podcast and many others like it. My best advice - talk less and let your guests talk more. Just like when Kai has you on Marketplace, he keeps his questions succinct and to the point, and lets you share your expertise. That's what you should do on your Podcast. ...Read full review »

Love the podcast. Would love to here a podcast on crypto currencies and European markets

Really enjoy listening to Ben White. He has a nice way of discussing and dissecting policy/economics and presenting clearly, concisely, and in a way that’s easy to understand, even if you’re not an expert in econ (like myself). I look forward to listening to this each week. Ben has great guests...Read full review »

Great podcast with Larry Kudlow. A brief history of taxes and economic cycles over the last few decades... for the layperson.

The best podcast for someone trying to learn about the economy related to current news
SpeedRacerChaser via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/28/17
I enjoy this podcast, I’m not anywhere near as informed as I should be on topics related to finance and economics and I’m using this as a good source for topics and theories that I can explore in more detail. I don’t know the first thing about interviewing people or producing a podcast, but I do...Read full review »

Getting the tires to the roadway with this long form discussion of Money issues with Polituco's Ben White Looking forward to some more challenging and in depth discussions with further guests. Definitely want to hear arguments that can lead to a productive debate.Read full review »

This is the only podcast I wake up excited to listen to on “release day.” All the interviews so far have been interesting and refreshingly candid. Keep it up
Chris Donahoe via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/11/17
The first few interviews are great. I hope they don’t shy away from getting even wonkier!!
samjlord via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/08/17
When you asked Larry about whether the 4k income increase by sec. Manuchi is realistic, Larry basically said “u can never be a 100% so if u promise something u cant be trusted” This was of course a zero content answer, since it is obvious (uncertainty is always a given) and non related to the...Read full review »

Ben White is simply the best reporter in America working at the intersection of economics & politics. His guests are true heavyweights, & every podcast is a newsmaker. Don’t leave home without it!

Great podcast with relevant interviews with important public figures and strong questions. Love it!
Cassiano Bittencourt via Apple Podcasts · Brazil · 11/02/17
I liked the Kevin Hasset interview but wished I could hear him talk rather than have politico put their spin on the topic when he got into the weeds.

I always love seeing Ben on CNBC, love this show too!
Kovahkove via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/27/17
Ben asks good questions of some powerful people.

Painful and unlikeable. Should have done a soft open and then gotten a different first guest. I'm a hardcore podcast listener.. I need a shower after this one.Read full review »

I really enjoyed the first episode and thought it was a good start. I hope in future podcasts you go “into the weeds” more with future issues. I enjoy Politico Podcasts for their depth and solid analysis, and I hope the same for this podcast.

Ben is the first to bring out the human side of Steve Mnuchin. Though you may be disgusted by the administration and some of Mnuchin’s past statements and actions, in this interview Ben reveals a likable and interesting person. One of the best podcasts available.

I only listened to the Mnuchin interview to hear what he had to say about the tax increases expected for many middle income households, so I was thrilled when White asked that very question. But then Mnuchin waved it off saying it was a "non-issue" because the standard deduction was...Read full review »

Softball questions for Mnuchin - he is philosophically against the rich paying estate taxes... so what about income inequality that keeps growing? Mnuchin’s fake math was never challenged. Disappointing.
Hummingbird sings via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/20/17
The podcast has potential but if the first interview with Mnuchin is any indicator I wouldn’t expect anything interesting or interviews with tough questions. Mnuchin was allowed to give his sound bites without any type of challenge. He claimed the US is one of the highest taxed nations,...Read full review »

Considering the vast number of podcasts today, it is surprising that “Politico Money" still manages to fill an important gap. I liked Ben White's informal interview style and choice of discussed topics. However, I was less impressed by the way the moderator let treasury secretary Mnuchin...Read full review »

Great podcast. It took topics that are usually boring (even if they're important) and got straight to the core issues. I enjoyed the offbeat questions mixed in with the policy talk.Read full review »

I wish you asked the treasury secretary a question about GSE reform.
Darin913 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/19/17
Ben White ran a great first podcast episode with a big figure in Steve Mnuchin. The two had interesting and insightful remarks on tax reform and the economy.
Michael Betrus via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/18/17
Excited to see where this goes. Please spend more time confronting the guest in their assertions. Mnuchin’s math went over my head at times. I’m not sure you were in board w everything he was saying. In those moments the listener might be lost as well. Gonna keep listening. 👌🏼

I listened to a few ads on Politico Playbook and this podcast delivered on its inaugural episode. Looking forward to many more!
