Excellent Host
Steve is as great as Brian Sullivan who is the best CNBC host!
Sedgwick is back from Vacation but Karen Tso takes the cake.
I started listening to this podcast roughly two weeks ago now and was hooked. Now, come to find out a third anchor, Sedgwick must have been on holiday. That said, it’s Monday, 4/17 and he is back and I cannot stand his sound bites.
Bravo to Karen Tso who I guess was pulling some extra weigh in his absence but doing such a marvelous job it makes it hard to listen to now. And in todays podcast she seemed almost unrepresented which is a shame.
A suggestion and not that she wants this role but maybe utilizing her more on the statically part of the commentary, breaking news, etc. while still allowing the other two to breakdown the hat all of it means maybe a better way to go.
I will of course continue to give the podcast a chance as where else am I going to get such good reporting outside the US.
To the persons comment below. Unfortunately, I feel the same way towards Brian Sullivan as I do Steve Sedgwick. There energy level is almost too overpowering that it drowns out the information they are trying to convey or the guest who are trying to contribute. Frank Holland & Karen Tso both take the cake for me on demeanor, professionalism and overall stage presence.
Please take these comments with the up most respect. I listen to about 20 hours of podcast/ week from about 10 sources and so maybe I am off base but then again, maybe there is something there. Be Well!!
Best update in the morning!
Excellent podcast to catch up on all key global updates
