    Dummed down
    This is written as if the listeners are children. Please focus on conveying information rather than saying things like “but that’s not what happened here” 10 times.
  • StephAar
    GREAT!
    I love the podcast host on this! Strong breakdown of newsy subjects that bring you a better sense of understanding. Highly recommend!
  • lrhhrl
    Like it but poor host
    Worthwhile show but Michela is not good. “Uh huh uh huh”. Constantly agreeing is not needed. Just ask and move the convo forward
  • SAARKÉSH
    Excellent Scrutinization of Financial Systems
    Asking questions others won’t about the real impact of financial practice impacting the broader economy. The podcast needs further deep dive to reveal generational opportunities for optimization of capitalism in practice. For example, the episode shedding light on share buyback & its implications was short in the tax implications. After all, seems share buyback is nothing but insider trading!
  • TinaKManning
    Information in short episodes
    This podcast is always interesting and I can listen during short coffee breaks. I appreciate the point of view from younger people- we already have enough commentary by conservative old white men in the business world.
  • VTrumper
    My ears are bleeding
    Atonal journalism - hard to listen to the presentet.
  • Big Daddy Vee
    Fantastic pod
    Great stories, great reporting, and a really great host. You can tell she has a lot of business reporting experience, she knows how to weave complex financial news into compelling audio stories. Fantastic weekly pod.
  • David from Gainesville
    Love the show.
    Always interesting topics.
  • Kékcsillag
    Annoying voice
    The FT, for some reason, has been employing annoying Millennial voices as hosts across their podcasts. I simply cannot stand listening to them. Who are you? What have you done? Are you 16 years old?? Then there’s the overall quality of audio production, which is way below standard from the music to editing and the interviewee’s audio quality POV. I would’ve expected much more from the FT. There are plenty of other high-quality podcasts out there in terms of production and content. I’m going to go and listen to them instead.
  • Fact$ 0nly
    Slants left
    While many of the podcasts stick to the facts, others are completely slanted to the left such as the podcast on ESG.
  • Olympia48
    Great content but host needs some training
    Michela needs some voice training for radio. Her cadence often comes across as immature, and unsure. She also ends many of her questions on a higher note, which makes her seem less informed and less serious than she actually is.
  • Dr lancha
    review
    very informative pod cast
  • Lewsays
    Now sponsored by Phillip Morris
    Are you kidding? Taking ad money from Phillip Morris, which has apparently become a born-again good corporate citizen planning to wind down cigarette sales over the next 15+ years.
  • ArjunBhima23
    Excellent
    High quality and concise
  • RlatinJ
    Well done
    Well focused business podcast. Lays out the story and provides good background, all under 25 min. Very good listen!
  • hibiscus227
    Great podcast !
    So excited that it will be bi-weekly now.
  • Painya23
    You would think that they’d have their audio down
    The main voice is fine, but voices from other interviews are too quiet.
  • Timchi24
    Another great FT podcast
    This and FT alphachat are must listens, great hosts, guests, and topics. Behind the money focuses more on business and finance and has already had some great episodes in its short run. The episode on GE’s rise and fall as well as the episode on softbank’s vision fund spring to mind. Keep up the good work!
  • warreng0306
    Best financial podcast I’ve heard
    Very insightful, brief stories every week or so. Probably the most informative and interesting financial podcast I’ve heard. Highly recommend.
  • OzzyFootball
    Awesome!
    My favorite podcast. Very relevant content explained in a very easy to understand manner.
  • littlemisscappuccino
    Great first episode!
    Super interesting addition to my list! Glad to see this podcast and looking forward to more great episodes.
  • __xib__
    Short and sweet and densely packed
    A well-produced, informative podcast that is packed with great insights and good information. FT gets bonus points for somehow packing all that goodness into episodes that come in under 30 minutes.
  • Hania Lasagna
    Time well spent
    Finally a podcast that makes me feel smarter!
  • WorldEmpire
    Good start
