KimbermaflooMcKinsey podcastsContent is professional. I believe that McKinsey is adding to the already pervasive bias that men with British accent are infinitely more capable than without. For a company I look to to help dispel myths this feels like fuel to the fire.

onlyanopinionGen z podcastI think you should clarify the markets that you researched as it is a very western and really North America view. The small brands comments, the sustainability comments they are not really as big for some of the most profitable gen z markets which is not the USA....

JJLeonCExcellent insights for young ambitious students!This podcast helps me build depth and broad knowledge foundations with incredibly entertaining insights from different industries experts. As an aspiring future business leader, I not only find the episodes educational, but also exciting as the guests usually bring up useful insights to get snapshots of what is happening inside the decision making of leaders across all industries. The host makes the episodes very conversational and gives background. I get to feel like I am sitting on the table with the experts and able to follow and think creatively. This podcast challenges my entrepreneurial thinking even with no business background as an engineering student. Highly recommended!

danreview1111Hard to listen toBoth difficult to hear and the interviewer is difficult to stand. Very over dramatic.

kaymckinseySuper hard to hearPlease turn up the volume. People listen on trains and buses and is hard to hear anything

jongukljhSpeak up!I live the content of this podcast. Obsession comes to mind as a description of my relationship to it. However the volume is a lot lower than other podcasts I to which I listen. Maybe I’m crazy but I think it’s true.

denny vdmGlobal Financial SecurityGood job looking back at the reason for the recession nearly 10 years ago. The banks are given credit for the lion share of the collapse in the markets and home ownership. But you need to go back further and study why the banks were in that spot. Home ownership became an entitlement during the Bush and Clinton era. Home ownership was an American right. Banks were loaning 110% more or less over appraisals. The feds supported it. Home ownership is and must be a privilege that is earned over time being a good steward of financial resources.

Carl from chicagoMcKinsey Podcast Provides Valuable Content for Business LeadersMcKinsey is arguably the top strategic consulting firm in the world. The McKinsey podcast draws on their vast research and knowledge base to find relevant topics and interview top leaders such as CEO’s and respected authors to pull apart key topics. The podcast is well produced, of a consistent length, and with little commercial interruptions.

Good Fun MJLTerrible Audio; good, not great, contentThe audio is so terrible it’s a burden to listen to. The content is good or better than good. HBR and Inc. have podcast models McKinsey could emulate to make this a great series!
-
Beepboop123532Please turn up the volumeThe output volume is very quiet, even at full device volume
-
The ssenScripted and genericGreat topics but the dialogue is clearly scripted and overly generic. A16Z is how a business podcast should sound. Spontaneity, debate and rich stories.

Metro36I get a lot from listening to theseMcKInsey does a great job with these podcasts. I learn so much from the wealth of knowledge and insignts they possess. Now I see why McKinsey is the gold standard for business success.

KékcsillagAudio quality is bad & articles are read on PodcastI have a pet peeve about Podcasts that don't pay attention to audio quality. Some of them make it unbearable to listen to. I simply can't stand listening to shoddy audio quality that sounds like it was recorded in a reverberating toilet stall at bus stop on the highway. :) Please!

bizofbizGreat insight from McKinsey insidersExactly the kind of podcast I've been looking for - fantastic insight on an interesting (and important) issue, directly from leaders who work with companies every day. Really valuable to hear from senior McKinsey people - can't wait for more!

giacomino123ADam/ SustainabilityPodcasts are media events... media events have to be exciting. Speakers have to speak with clarity and enthusiasm. They should be carefully edited and pitched toward the medium they are using. I.e. a podacast is a radio program. How about something enjoyable, maybe a little music... humor, personality? not just blah blah blah blah... Admittedly easier said than done, but the medium remains the message, so time to align the message with how the medium actually works! What Adam, and the extremely boring, mumbling interviewer (sorry, nothing personal, boring in the nicest possible way) are talking about is interesting and important, but it sounds like they are both falling asleep. I was. JL

maonunezA convinient way to have the worthy articules from Mckinsey in audioMcKiensey is one of the worlds top counsultancy firms in business matters, and its publication is a worthy source of real business world knowledge (Not only academic). This podcast is a convinient way to have it´s articules in audio.

Knowledge LoverAcademic Style is Appropriate to the ContentI have read the other reviews complaining that these are merely read pieces, lacking in interaction or more entertaining formats. I have enjoyed listening to them, precisely because they are factual, unemotional, and delivered with real life examples to easily illustrate the points contained in each podcast. I think they in fact are the perfect tonic to today's ADD-driven and greed-filled world of in the moment decision-making that does not have the ability to include multiple perspectives. There is very little evidence of learning from others' experience taking place - a distinctly different action than following the herd. If you are interested in such things as built to last, quality, and sustainability, then I think you would find significant value in these podcasts. I believe they are just as relevant to our business and political leaders as they are to startups and small business owners.

rebunkerjrSuggestion for ImprovementI would suggest listening to a couple of HBR IdeaCasts as a model. HBR has adopted a moderated format whereby the moderator interviews the author on the content of the article. In cases where the author is not available, they have a standin (usually a HBS professor) who "interprets" the article.
-
FrankMcBrideStrategy....Overall, the podcast contained solid information. However, it did have some rather significant omissions, which I believe would help the participant remain "engaged", rather than ruminating over the percentage levels indicated in the piece. Had the authors stated wether the companies used in the baseline survey were: publicly held companies, private, government, or a blend; the data has a different meaning. One could only surmise that the respondent companies were public, as many of their strategic initiatives are molded from outside investors.

addicted to podcastsVaries in qualityI got an email announcing this podcast and was very excited. Then I listened to a few. Most are just articles read out loud. This treatment of a topic makes for a boring podcast. But a couple like (Investing the Gulf's Oil Profits Windfall) are what I expected to hear, thoughtful discussions. I hope that they publish more of these, rather than just read articles.
