Squawk Pod - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Best macro financial show on air. Great variety of guests and genuine curiosity of subject matter. Becky awesome as always in every way. I enjoy the balance of Andrew’s clear liberal thoughts with Joe’s conservative principles. It’s rare to have a show with both. Too often shows only have one side. I agree more often with Joe but learn so much from Andrew…. It’s what civility between friends should be.

This is truly the best morning show around. Andrew and Becky are great but Joe is the secret sauce that makes the show outstanding. When Joe is off, it’s just not the same. I enjoy the banter and irreverence. They all call it like it is.

A great summary of the financial and political news that shapes our world. Balanced hosts that sprinkle in some pop culture for fun.

Informative. Insightful discussions from various perspectives. Leading executives, experts and thought leaders. Provocative discussions.

I used to listen to this show while getting ready for work practically every day. Not anymore. Joe Kernen has turned this show into a propaganda machine. Even his invited guests spend less time talking about the markets and financial news than about a political agenda. I’d rather catch Frank Holland on Worldwide Exchange earlier in the morning and then skip to Squawk On the Street 3 hours later. I’m looking for financial news. If you’re looking for right wing political poison, Joe’s your man. But this show’s a thousand times more informative when Joe’s out.

I gave this 1-star because of Joe Kernen. Squawk Pod is better than the actual CNBC show in some ways, because it is edited to be concise. I cannot watch the 3-hour live version because of Joe Kernen. He completely lacks professionalism. Joe always interrupts and talks over guests. He is also way too politically opinionated, which is a huge turnoff on a business program. Fortunately, listeners get less Joe Kernen in this abridged podcast format. This CNBC podcast releases its episodes well after the cable show airs. So we get premarket info after the market opens.
