Customer Reviews
Disappointed
I love this podcast, but I’m disappointed at how you left out one key issue to the abysmal job report. People who make more money not working won’t want to work. I am well aware that there are people who have genuine reasons for not working. However, there are many not returning to work because they’re making more on unemployment.
Punctual
Axios recap delivers insightful interviews on time, and in just the right amount of time. Dan delivers.
Great, informative, and pithy
By far one of my favorite daily news podcasts. Pithy, succinct, and alway on the edge.
