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.
News or Commercial?
Your recent episode on “coordination tax” was poorly researched. It lacked evidence and specific examples. Then the reporter recommended consumers buy a product to solve this non-existing problem. This commercialization trend in your podcast is disappointing.
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.
