Our take on Good Bad Billionaire podcast

Good Bad Billionaire" serves a no-holds-barred look at the world's wealthiest. In each episode, Simon Jack and Zing Tsjeng do an A+ job picking apart how the ultra-rich got their wealth and what they're all about. Each episode is like a mini-bio, exploring how they made their billions and what they say about the world we live in. The first episode was devoted to Jeff Bezos, and the pod promises a juicy list. It's more than just a rich index; it's a look at power, influence, and what a truckload of cash does to a person. Perfect listen if you've ever wondered why billionaires are the way they are. Good Bad Billionaire is an entrepreneurship podcast by BBC Radio 5 Live.

I think this is one of the best podcast series I’ve listened to. Fascinating hearing the very well researched stories behind each billionaire’s wealth and what they do with it. Jack and Tsjeng deserve rich praise.
