Customer Reviews
Burn volume
Please keep normal tone, very annoying
Great up to date information
Required listening if you want facts about markets and economy without any spin. I do wish Leanna Burn would would pick a volume though - she starts each sentence with a shout and ends with a whisper - difficult to listen to on headphones.
Random things put together, undiversified sources, many ads and bias news
The podcast feels pleasant and friendly at first but over time, I realize it is very biased, and it start to feel like they put together a lot of random things, so many important news are usually missing if you listen to a diverse sources of news. Commentators keep coming from one sources if it is about economics. They also have so many ads that keep popping up many times during a 10 min show. I don’t think I will keep listening to this podcast.
