Customer Reviews
Get her a better microphone!
For real she sounds like she’s in a large empty room. There’s such good technology for this and I don’t understand how the Bloomberg team doesn’t hear it. Be better Bloomberg.
She’s solid though.
Less English more Scottish
Can you let your guests speak more? You basically spoke more than Kwasi did. Also let the Scot speak more, he’s pretty witty and insightful.
Steen Jakobsen is a sociopath
What a ludicrous interview. Never should have had him on.
