the saturday edition brings together the serious, the surprising and the slightly ridiculous stories of the week.

this week: whether the jensen huang scandal at nvidia is bigger than australian cricket's latest controversy; the two big warning signs for the australian economy; whether banks should be allowed back into financial advice; and the jobs sean, michael and adam would love to do if they weren't making podcasts.

sean aylmer and michael thompson go head-to-head, with adam lang picking the winner... despite being in covid isolation in perth.

and don't forget, you can now watch the saturday edition on our fear & greed podcast youtube channel. subscribe to see all the arguments, tantrums and questionable judging decisions.
