(Mario500)A Review of "Good Bad Billionaire"I had found certain parts of this "Good Bad Billionaire" to had been vulgar (or profane), unnecessary, negative, disgusting, and detrimental (especially toward certain parts of it I had found to had been interesting and informative).

JmmillettHonest, Informative, EntertainingI’ve listened to Good Bad Billionaire since the beginning and find it gets better and better each season. Simon and Zing’s individual self confidence and mutual respect results in a positive chemistry that is enjoyable to listen to. I’m not particularly interested in billionaires or celebrities but I do appreciate being informed about people outside my usual focus thanks to Simon and Zing.

Taidie BumpsClaireI enjoy your presentation very much on this podcast / some episodes better than others but that is measured by my interest in the person you are speaking about. I thoroughly enjoy hearing you laugh / giggle Simon on the occasions that you do / very endearing 😊and you are both very insightful. The more I hear about billionaires the more I realise how it does not make for happy campers and in terms of them sharing / giving away their wealth / is it always announced so everyone can know and the trumpets are blowing ? Real giving is mostly done privately/ secretly….not showing off to others , right ? Thank you for the work you put into the podcast 🙏🏼 informative and very much enjoyed 👌

תקקוןGood idea…butI think this is a good idea for a podcast but I think that it might run the risk of exposing or highlighting the worldview or political persuasion of the podcasters as much as it does of the billionaires…and it does. I still find it interesting and the hosts occasionally bring to light issues that I wasn’t aware of but I also have to weed out their bias which definitely trends progressive

Fergie V.Great Show But…Great show, compelling content and novel approach to telling the story of billionnaires. So much learnt fekm this show. Simon Jack is a pretty good, entertaining and competent presenter, hitting all the right notes. Just can’t stand the Chinese Asian presenter Zing, trying too hard to be a native westerner with accent and slang affectations. The only part of this show i dislike.

capitlistsSeason 3 PLEASE!This is my fav podcast. I love the premise and execution. You two are very articulate and intelligent. I enjoy listening and and learning every time. I hope there is a new season? There must be some more billionaires to scrutinize. Thanks

StinaMasFinaHand Over MouthWhy does Simon Jack put his hand over his mouth while talking into the microphone all the time? Almost every single show there’s a sentence or two where Simon is obviously talking with his hand over his mouth and I have no idea why. Like at first I think, well, maybe he just yawned and his hand is still covering his mouth when he started talking but he keeps it there and then I’m confused! What is he doing? It’s so irritating! I mean, other that, I thought I was ok until they mentioned the Koch brothers were Libertarians and now I’m questioning all my life choices!!! So… educational I guess. Thank you??? Seriously though. Entertaining podcast. I like it.

KRCarrawayInteresting idea that needs better researchIt's an interesting idea for a podcast, but the subject research is surface level at best. These almost exclusively right-wing billionaires seem to get a free pass because the research and context of how they made their money is just not looked into very deeply. There's almost nothing on the ramifications of what these billionaires do to society.

sknytlSpoiler Alerts!***THIS SHOW HAS NO SPOILER ALERTS!!!**** I’m enjoying the show, aside from the big foul during the Murdoch episode in which you ruined a huge plot twist in the Succession Series.

jem922So Well Done!I’m enjoying this podcast so much! The subject matter is fascinating! If you want to learn more about the very richest people on the planet and how they got there, this is the listen for you. The hosts are so professional and they never waste time with boring personal chitchat as so many podcasts tend to do. They get right into their subject and present the information in a riveting and entertaining style that keeps me glued start to finish. They adhere to the same format for each podcast. A brief biography is presented, you learn how each person achieves her or his first million dollars, and then how they leap forward to billionaire status. The hosts then have certain criteria by which they judge each subject and eventually declare them either a good or a bad billionaire. Each host brings a different perspective, so hearing them discuss their ratings for each billionaire per category is fun and you’ll find yourself weighing in with your own views, too. Some billionaires are people we’re familiar with from the news, TV, etc, and some I learned about for the first time. It’s just fascinating to see which forces converge in an ordinary person’s life to help make them become extraordinary. I can’t praise these two hosts highly enough! They keep the information in each episode fresh and enjoyable and moving forward, and together they present a very complete picture of these fabulously wealthy people. If you’re even a bit curious about the billionaires’ paths of success please give this podcast a listen. Good Bad Billionaire. You won’t be disappointed, I promise!

GeroniaFascinatingI find these stories fascinating Love every single one of them. I do not always agree with your grade but I still like to hear your reasoning. I’ve been looking forward to this season which I am binging now as I was traveling and I couldn’t.

BBCShowLoverZing should be removed as a host: lack of a nuanced and broad understanding of the worldSimon Jack is very nuanced and great at hosting a show and even directing Zing’s trite comments to something more meaningful in interpreting Zing’s comments. Zing should not be on this show or any shows. Her lack of understanding of the world really comes through. Simon Jack is great, full of nuance and communicates with poise and class. Zing makes this show unbearable to listen to. Just a plainly bad communicator! Simon Jack hosting solo this show would be a five star. Zing one star or zero star.

jryutzyInterestingReal interesting but as a general rule if the person is perceived as associated with political right then they judge them as bad and if associated with political left they are judged to be good. Actually I can’t think of a single episode that doesn’t follow that formula. Listen for the information but not the ratings!
-
kvobrienFascinating and funI love this podcast! I always learn something - not just about the people, but also how various economic systems work. This is a top podcast for me and I recommend it all the time. Can’t wait for a Judith Faulkner episode. Keep it going!
-
MandyblahInteresting and lightheartedI really like the format of this podcast and the hosts are quite likable. Most of my subscribed podcasts are hosted by Americans so I really like the UK perspective. Sometimes I giggle at the way America is presented and discussed. Especially the health industry one. I find the ratings fun and a lighthearted end to the show.

Justabanana 13457643AmazingThis podcast is incredible! Simon and Tsing do an amazing job with this podcast. I listen to it every single week when a new episode comes out! I would like for there to be an episode with the leaders of Hamas and what the current events of their actions are causing.

0983733loolInterestingReally interesting, but the ratings tend to be biased on whether they like the person or not.

Agdjuuhgnkli!?,.&@$(;:Awesome!I love this podcast! It’s interesting and informative. Think the hosts do a terrific job covering the material and offer very interesting insights. Will keep listening!!

Original_OwlBe CurrentPlease do an episode on the billionaire leaders of Hamas

Dane in NYCDisappointedI was so excited to discover this podcast. But after the first episode I’m beyond baffled. I guess I expected journalism not pop culture banter. Opera has done so profound damage especially to United States and US culture and this type of podcast/talk just continues to support that. Super problematic! She has created and endorsed the most awful humans including mass rapist shamans and how about Dr Oz?! I don’t even know where to begin when it comes to Weight Watchers!! And she always doubles or even triples down - even when her gusts turns out to be mass rapists. She’s impressive, worked hard and very talented - has done some good for certain but nothing compared to all the bad. My I suggested to a start, listening to Maintenance Phase and their podcast about Oprah.

MSB1129InterestingInteresting info! It sounds like Simon periodically covers/wipes his mouth while on mic. Super distracting.
-
rissyriss1234Easy listenI enjoy listening to this when I’m having my morning coffee or cooking lunch. The hosts do good research and they’re easy to listen to. The really low ratings are odd.

eltoddro“Judge Them”Exactly what gives you the wherewithal to be “judging” people?
-
Mckennak0Give it a shot!I think this a great listen - it seems like the less than positive reviews are based on people’s opinions than the podcast itself. It’s funny, entertaining, informative and I judging gives it a playful edge. Definitely give it a listen!
-
communitynewspodcastEducationalJust listened to the Bezos episode. Interesting. I'll definitely listen to more of these. So far the only podcast I enjoy is a comedy "Community News by Paul and Sasha", but I'm going to be giving this one more listens. Very informative to hear about their whole life and career story.
-
BhuddakindDoesn’t finish the jobWas excited to listen. The first half did a decent enough job detailing the rise to Billionaire status but the judgement part is a joke. They gave Jeff Bezos a 10 for “sinister” or something like that based solely on the fact that he’s invested in space travel and looks like mini me. Good grief 🤦🏾♂️

person who hates wordleWhere’s Elon Musk???!!!?!?!?!Elon Musk Is the richest person on earth so it just doesn’t make sense not to put him

BlueBottleGirlThis Is Great!I always wondered how billionaires got to where they are, how much their wealth affects society as a whole and if they felt inclined to put it to good works, or hoard it. The narrators have done their homework and I enjoy their engagement with each other. This is an interesting podcast to add to my library. Looking forward to future episodes.

Rev. R. McGlinchyBadYou can’t be a billionaire without exploiting people. Thus, all billionaires are bad.
