Customer Reviews
Daily listener
The various topics are quick and informative. Some of the podcasts don’t apply to me, but knowing it never hurts.
Not useful
Love most of the WSJ podcasts, The Journal being my favorite, but this one really misses the mark. Info is too obvious, granular, and is not insightful. The content is something I would expect from a money segment on a KTLA morning news show, not WSJ.
Stop with the gen z reporters
If you can make it through ad nauseam ads, you’ll be dodging gen z reporters and their weird cadence when they speak. The half alert delivery and vapid content is getting way off its original content that drew me to this show 10 years ago.
Someone introduce the 24 year old reporters to black coffee, reduce the ad to content ratio to anywhere less than 1:1, and report on anything that actually deals with the economy instead of this garbage sociology podcast.
