Appreciate Dion’s clarity and thoughtful insights on market and economy. He is one of the best I’ve seen at breaking things down in an entertaining and informative way. Keep up the great work!

I’ve been following dion rabouin videos online and I’m glad to have a podcast I can listen to as well. Mr. Rabouin does an excellent job of interpreting data in an engaging and accessible way.

The special on DEI and ESG was way below your usual standards. Your guest claims that companies that have adopted DEI policies are more profitable. Every reporter should know that correlation is not causation. Maybe BlackRock has been more successful in using proxy voting to pressure those companies.
The one thing that was never mentioned was whether the DEI ESG fund is at least as profitable as an index fund. Every WSJ reader wants to know about profitability. Since they skipped the issue entirely we can assume that they don’t keep up with the index.

The content is strong and the topics are timely, with well rounded take on the week. However, the show is often cringy due to disruptions by the hosts frequently talking over each other and interrupting not just one another, but also the guests. More polish in the pacing and convo flow would go a long way in making this podcast better.

This could be a good addition to the WSJ lineup, but the host is so hard to listen to. The only time I enjoyed this podcast is when there were the guest hosts. Then the normal one comes back and starts with a sentence that made me immediately regret tuning it, he goes “ yo fam what’s good!”. Listen no judgement on how you articulate in a informal setting, but this can’t be the host WSJ sticks with, if this man is the one writing content then cool but pick a different person to speak because I just can’t believe this is a professional podcast, it comes off way to informal and it insults the audience. I will be unfollowing this one for now but will check back in a few months to see if we have a new host. Hope you take this seriously, if this is what WSJ turns to I will be canceling all my WSJ affiliated accounts and you will lose others as well if you go this route. Stick to good quality information and please don’t try to “fit in” with the informal lazy crowd, because then you will get informal and lazy customers who will be more than happy to be informal and lazy when they don’t pay you.
