Equity

I love Equity. Alex, Danny, and Natasha have a fun dynamic, and do a terrific job covering the tech and VC landscape at a high level. It’s a great way to catch up on daily news throughout the week. That said, I don’t love the new ad placements in the middle of more recent episodes. The ads can sometimes (often) occur mid-discussion, or even cut in randomly mid-sentence. It’s very jarring and can take away from the discussion. It’d be great if they can just have all the ads happen in the beginning of the podcast. Or if they must have it happen in the middle of the podcast, have it occur at a more natural stopping point - like after a discussion topic has ended and before they move on to the next.

It’s odd to hear business podcasts, such as this one refer to “rising authoritarianism” in India and use other loaded political adjectives somewhat regularly. There were some recent state elections that were just held, which were fair. It’s even more perplexing to not hear such loaded political statements and comments against China and Pakistan, to whom such statements probably apply far more.

I listen to this podcast every single day, and it set me up nicely and let me know what’s going on in the world of fintech. Really appreciate all the incredible work that the team do here. It’s part of my morning routine though! Keep up the great work all!

The only propblem with the show is the lack of dad jokes from Katie - Alexs' hatred of overpriced companies and knowlage of financial metrics adds a lot as well.
