A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Loved the honest and candid approach to leadership. Refreshing to hear a leader - whose ego seems in check - talk about empowering people and offering thoughtful feedback to her team. Rare and inspiring!

JY NYC · Mar 2026

In the City? I’m not even in the country but I still enjoy this podcast. It’s interesting fínance news brought to you at a reasonable depth by reputable hosts and featuring all star guests, what else do you need? For me the “across the pond” focus also provides a worldly macro touch that sets it apart from the humdrum of the current news cycle. I really appreciate the depth to which Bloomberg has adopted the podcasting medium, keep up the good work!
