Decent content, questionable host

The content is alright for a London-centric audience but it’s very difficult to listen with Allegra Stratton on, knowing the sheer contempt and disrespect she holds for the British public.

Deeper than News, Solid Entertainment

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!
