One of my fav

*trying to write the first comment but found many reviews from years ago and the rating is 4.5 out of 5 😯*

I love to hear about more detailed stories on how entry level designers grow!

Excellent on Friday

Felicity Hannah does a supurb job hosting on Fridays. Alas, on Monday through Thursday Will Bain starts well but degrades to talking over his experts and guests. This has grown so annoying that I only listen on Friday. Monocle's Globalist podcast is a wonderfully moderated on presented podcast thast is now my Monday through Thursday choice.

Pay attention!

Featured reviews on iOS in US are 3, 5, 10, 11, 13 YEARS old! The show has been completely overhauled. The hosts pictured here have been retired and/or replaced. This used to be a show that woke me up with financial news and even a business roundup from Asia. Now it’s fluffy with soft interviews of boring little start ups and touchy-feely discussions with minor players.
