Not Financial Enough and Bad Host
Gave this pod a chance since I’ve caught up on a few and need to fill the extra time. I enjoy some of Slate’s other podcasts but this one is a miss. The financial topics are a bit too general for my liking and this most recent episode was the last straw. They did a segment of the NPR woke controversy or whatever is going on in the news, and of course talked about Elon. Hilariously the British host has horrible takes. He seemed to conceptually not understand that people can put change in their pockets and put them in a piggy bank when they get home. I get that we’re in the future now and going “cashless”, but not understanding the concept of a piggy bank is tone deaf to the max.

Other shows do the same, but those other shows advertise quickly and to the point. In Slate Money, Felix can drone on for 90 seconds...Read full review »
