    Ivy Insights

    The Risque Business News podcast is a hidden gem in the podcast world that combines entertainment, humor, and education. From the moment I started listening, I was immediately drawn in by the sweet, intelligent, and caring dynamic between hosts Mae and Laura. Their chemistry is undeniable and creates a delightful balance of banter, storytelling, and humorous tangents. This podcast has quickly become a must-listen for me and I make sure to always have an episode queued up for my gym sessions on the treadmill.

    One of the best aspects of The Risque Business News podcast is its ability to entertain while still providing valuable information. Mae and Laura have a knack for taking complex business news headlines from sources like The Wall Street Journal and turning them into engaging stories that are both informative and funny. They have managed to bridge the gap between comedy and business, making it accessible to listeners who may not typically be interested in corporate news. It's refreshing to learn about current events in a light-hearted way that keeps you entertained throughout.

    As much as I adore this podcast, there are some minor drawbacks worth mentioning. Occasionally, certain episodes can feel slightly disjointed or lack a clear structure. While this adds to the casual and conversational tone of the show, it may leave some listeners wanting more organization or direction in their content. Additionally, though Mae's laughter is infectious and brings joy to the show, there are moments where it can overshadow or interrupt the flow of conversation.

    In conclusion, The Risque Business News podcast is an absolute delight for anyone seeking a combination of entertainment and education. With Mae and Laura at the helm, you can expect hilarious banter alongside insightful discussions about current business news topics. While some episodes may lack structure at times and laughter can occasionally overpower conversations, these minor flaws pale in comparison to the overall enjoyment this podcast provides. If you're looking for a fresh perspective on corporate news with lots of laughs along the way, The Risque Business News podcast is definitely worth a listen.

    The girls talk about the one and only Mr. Beast. His rise to fame and recent scandals that have recently plagued him. Is it possible his charity work is staged? How much of his facade is real? Former employees have been putting out some wild accusations and some have wild accusations of their own. Do we think that the former employees are leeching off him for clout?  Do we think these accusations are true?

Diddy somehow made Weinstein's casting couch look like a Christian dating show! We also go over the tragic story of Kim Porter who had Diddy's babies, endured many cheating scandals and stood by his side to STILL not get a wedding ring (and the internet thinks was murdered by Diddy, equally tragic...).
