Deer hunter, with iPad 10/15/2022
Ryan and Kate work hard to throw open the curtains on current events and politics in a 15-25 minute daily episode. They highlight great stories and work with other WSJ writers to shine lights on big news or even some of the hidden stories you’d miss without them. Easily the best thing I can say is this is the podcast in my feed my kids all want to hear. Little do they know how much economics and business concepts they’re learning. My 10-year-old is telling her friends what a “loss leader” is and how “bundling” differs from “co-promotional marketing.” Thank you for your awesome work and please keep it up!

ConfirmationBiasUndone 07/10/2021
I am a securities and options trader/investor and business owner. In my previous career I used to focus on public policy and avoided the WSJ. Almost everything I read from the newspaper had a clear right-wing, big corporate, socially irresponsible, making the rich richer, “profit over people”, anti-diversity, backwards bias—to the point of making it bad quality, inaccurate journalism. When it defended Trump, it completely lost credibility with me—until this podcast.
Based on past experience, when I listened to my first episode of The Journal, my expectations were low and confirmation bias was ready to kick in and make me dislike it. But I was wrong. The quality of the journalism and interviews in this podcast is generally excellent. In fact, this show that has brought me back into the podcast universe after leaving it altogether for several years. This is the only program whose episodes I listen to everyday. It keeps me up to date on cutting edge issues and has taught me a great deal about important topics I otherwise wouldn’t have the time to research myself.
When I read one poster’s comment about “leftist” views, I wanted to laugh. Whenever a media outlet reports truth, addresses issues concerning marginalized people, workers’ issues, prioritizes accuracy, and attempts to be more heterogeneous and 360 degrees in its perspectives, right wingers called it “leftist”.
While this podcast has exceeded my expectations, there is still more that can be done to make it better. If this is indeed a podcast about “money, business and power,” then topics and analysis other than those with which we are inundated by dominant culture need to be presented . The Journal staff has done well in presenting some topics outside of those dictated by people in power socially, politically, culturally and economically.
For example, I very much appreciated hearing about the challenges of an African-American mother who was evicted from her home during the pandemic. I was introduced to and have learned a great deal about NFTs, SPACs, etc. I like the reporting on the GameStop controversy and the issue of retail traders vs. hedge funds and investment banks. However, I was disappointed in the reporting on the unionization effort in the Amazon warehouse located in Georgia. The reporter on the ground did his best to present the workers’ perspectives, but giving the female “worker” who was anti-union so much airtime without providing context was irresponsible. She had only been working at the warehouse for 2 weeks and stated that the workers who supported unionization were the lazy ones. It was an outrageous statement that was allowed to go unchallenged. What should have been stated is that a common employer tactic is hiring workers for the stealth purpose of breaking the union drive from within and voting against it, that Amazon hired union busting firms to help them defeat the effort, held “captive audience meetings” where employees were forced to endure anti-union rhetoric and intimidation tactics.
Overall, the Journal’s staff does an EXCELLENT job and I love listening to all of you. Thank you for your great work!!

I’ve been listening since late 2019 and this show became my constant companion through the worst of 2020. With their objective reporting, Ryan and Kate alerted me to COVID, were my running and walking companions on long days at home, taught me about things I never knew I needed to know and are always my top choice each day.

I have listened to both episodes about UBiome. Excellent reporting!
Having worked in healthcare and as a certified credentialed coder (medical coder) for over for 20+ years I was shocked to hear about fraud, abuse and ID theft that lead to the FBI and Justice department shutting them down. Where was their compliance department? Medicare, Medicaid and billing practices change regularly and must be kept current when billing for services. Running a sample a second time needs special handling when billing. UBiome had a fast way to make money and end up in prison.
Again, great reporting and will listen to more episodes.

Extremely informative about the pros and cons of going to a 4day school day. I enjoy the fact that each topic is presented in a cogent way. There is no bias so that you get the clear picture of what is being talked about. The topic are written succinctly so you don’t read a long article. I looked forward to reading your episodes almost every day.

Reporting is extremely shallow and will not provide new insights or understanding into any given issue beyond what you can already read in the headlines. Please get some hosts who are actually capable of asking meaningful questions like Michael Barbaro, Ezra Klein, or Terry Gross. More importantly, please interview experts who actually understand the subject at hand instead of just interviewing your fellow WSJ journalists who only have a surface-level understanding of the topic. It’s embarrassing when your reporter on Sam Bankman-Fried’s trial cannot explain basic terms like “fiat currency” and “market maker” to your audience.
