Customer Reviews
Great podcast!
I’m a subscriber to the print version of the WSJ but this podcast remains on top of my daily listening queue.
Has it been discontinued? Haven’t been able to find a new episode to download for awhile.
Very uninformative
I try to listen but I feel you don’t put enough effort into this. In recent episode on WNBA you say “I think it was a $75mm investment”. It’s widely known and reported. Why aren’t you more informed and besides speaking to a few boys who played with Caitlin Clark years ago what else did you do or report we don’t already know
No content🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
I downloaded the wsj app but it says "no episodes".
