I am a daily Morning Money reader so I was quite excited for a podcast by Ben. the show is great, the guests are interesting but I have to stop at 4 stars for a reason. The questions need to be tougher. I understand it's incredibly hard to remain unbiased/objective in this day and age but you need to ask tougher follow up questions when guests make specific assertions. If I hear more of this I'll certainly change to 5 stars. keep the content coming!
Mike, I listen to your Podcast and many others like it. My best advice - talk less and let your guests talk more. Just like when Kai has you on Marketplace, he keeps his questions succinct and to the point, and lets you share your expertise. That's what you should do on your Podcast. Your guests are the "show" so to speak. This will turn a 3 star into a 5 star. An example of what I encourage can be heard on "Exhanges at Goldman Sachs." Some may say it's a little dry, but you get tons of informtion in that 30 or so minutes. Keep working on it. I love the potential!!!
Really enjoy listening to Ben White. He has a nice way of discussing and dissecting policy/economics and presenting clearly, concisely, and in a way that’s easy to understand, even if you’re not an expert in econ (like myself). I look forward to listening to this each week. Ben has great guests and a warm, easy way of interviewing some of the leaders in economics.
Great podcast with Larry Kudlow. A brief history of taxes and economic cycles over the last few decades... for the layperson.
I see a run of five stars, so maybe I'm an outlier, but my first experience with Politico Money was a disappointment. I'm sure Ben you are taking time thinking about this, and it's certainly a hard balance, but I found the level of presentation as half-pregnant, with say the possibility of making entertaining, clever, and even provocative statements on one possible side of the spectrum (and in this regard I thought Victoria Guida was perhaps pulling her punches about what is really driving Trump's attack on Jay Powell, dare say the stock market went down and a short-term thinking POTUS was simply looking for a scapegoat?) and say (as Ben said "maybe we should do a show on it") explaining the yield curve as possibly being on the other. I suggest you choose a side, because right now for me you're delivering milquetoast. History says that the Fed and the demands of politics is in constant clash, and I'd say that's quite interesting, and quite relevant to the present situation, and could have made for quite an interesting whole show subject. Maybe take a page out of the since discontinued Freak Out and Carry On where historian Heather Cox Richardson put things incredibly interestingly in historical perspective, while admittedly both were freaking out about POTUS, which whether you always agreed with them or not at the least showed their passion. Interesting and Politico worthy would be doing something investigative about what it must be like to be POTUS' Treasury Secretary, which I would assume would include talking about Gary Cohn's challenges, and noting that both Mnuchin and Cohn are products of Goldman Sachs, which is a source of perpetual drama and impact and passionate good old fashioned calumny. Also, sorry but I thought Ben and Victoria you don't click. There was not funny supposedly repartee being passed, and I thought accompanied by fake laughs. And asking Victoria whether she enjoyed covering the Fed versus trade policy was a snoozer. Really people ask you that "all the time," Victoria? I do see Ben you got the Treasury Secretary and Larry Kudlow for interviews, so maybe I'm interested in either really learning something or hearing from the people in charge? I'll keep listening and give it a chance, though... I hope that these comments are helpful.
