“Felix only provides a room to give a bad opinion that the women correct. I want a finance/business podcast. I wish the way Slate gave commentary wasn’t a pompous idiot corrected or informed by experts. Nevermind the sexism of multiple women paid and prepared to correct a male idiot. It’s exhausting.”

“I adored this show - listened since pre-Covid. But over the past year, ads have gotten longer & denser, Emily turned into a suburban stereotype (bragging about using single use plastic bags because remembering reusable is sooo hard & my poor little girlie brain can’t), and Felix started...”Read full review »

“Ironically I sought this podcast out because of Felix Salmon and his talents as a financial journalist. I was excited to have found myself a niche podcast about a topic I follow in media.
However, after listening to only 4 episodes, I am unfollowing the show. Felix Salmon is intolerably rude and...”Read full review »

“What is going on with this show for the last few months? Audio levels dipping in and out during the ads, repeat segments, two tracks playing at the same time so it sounds like everyone is talking over each other, have some quality control for heaven’s sake…”

“Long-time listener, former subscriber. I love topic mix, but why is Felix always so dismissive of Elizabeth’s point of view? When his opinion differs from Emily’s, he seems to convey his more politely, but that poor Elizabeth! Every episode, multiple times! No one needs to listen to that much...”Read full review »

Who wants to listen to two intelligent women get bulldozed by the arrogance of Felix’s ego-centric dialogue every...”Read full review »

“I’ve tried to listen to so many episodes of this and had to turn them off because they’re so frustrating. The male host routinely interrupts the women in conversation, or tells them they’re wrong and then splits hairs or manipulates his own opinion in order to justify why his viewpoint is...”Read full review »

“Longtime listener paying my dues and feeding the algo. Enjoy the choice of topics — nice mix of pop culture, Econ and finance, and politics. I’ve learned a lot from Felix’s perspectives in particular, and Emily is a great foil.
I do find Felix and Elizabeth’s constant disagreements a little...”Read full review »

“I like the topics and approach of Slate Money, but I’ve reached my limit on Felix Salmon’s sneering contempt—especially the way he blatantly sets up and knocks down his cohost Elizabeth Spires. Elizabeth, get out of there! I’d love to follow your intelligent, well-researched insights SOMEWHERE ELSE.”

Felix, on the other hand, is a proud know-nothing who is in love with the sound of his own musings. I am...”Read full review »

Her inputs and way of speaking are empty headed and frivolous and reflects poorly on women in finance....”Read full review »

“Listened to Money for the first in some years on Saturday. Felix Salmon is a hard-to-listen-to host. He drones on and on in an “as-I-discuss-in-my-book” sort of way, mansplaining at length—in a British accent, no less. It’s very unclear why Elizabeth Spiers and Emily Peck appear on the show:...”Read full review »
