Even to the non-financial mindset ... stalling the world economy looks like throwing petrol in a fire rather than smothering it!!

Suggestion:

When there’s a jam packed agenda and you’re struggling to cover everything; de-scope one or two topics and cover them in a separate podcast. In my opinion, the value of the podcast is in going into depth on particular topics, which struggles to happen if you spread the 30 minutes too thinly across everything topical.

Thanks Sean - I think that's very wise.

Just a quick comment on recent podcasts. Your (CJ) tendency to play the man and not the ball increases apace. We've heard your views on Boris many times and that's fair enough. You also, however, criticised the ECB for 'making a complete balls of things' and you think the 'Fed doesn't know what it's doing'. I'm sure these organisations act in good faith under difficult circumstances but your comments imply incompetence at best. I think it would be better just to analyse their policies and activities and let your listeners make their own minds up about these individuals/organisations.

Respectfully disagree. Freedom of expression of opinion on policies, people and organisations are welcome in my opinion - even when I don’t agree with those expressions.

Indeed and it adds a bit of colour to what is a dry subject
