Their criticism of just about anything rings hollow since two of the hosts basically hate just about everything associated with money and capitalism, despite their staggering ignorance of many corners of it. Their guests and Anna Szymanski are the only non-embarrassing parts of the show for me, but I still eventually just gave up and stopped listening.
- eclecticsceptic 7y agoI think you've got that backwards. Anna is an unabashed capitalist who refuses to criticise even the shadiest goings-on in finance, start-ups etc. Felix and Emily seem to have a good nose for nonsense, like wework.
- rconti 7y agoWell, it looks like we've covered both sides of the arguments :) I guess my take is somewhere between these two comments. I sometimes hate the way it feels like Anna plays a "contrarian character" no matter what, and yes, Felix and Emily can sometimes be a bit too.. "NPR do-gooder, feel-gooder" for my taste. But I really enjoy the show regardless. It's a saturday morning long-run staple for me.
