The Pirate of Prague

A charming young Czech promises staggering returns. An entire country’s oil industry is up for grabs. America’s top investors want in. Sounds too good to be true? Damn right it is. This is a story of private jets, $20,000 dinners, and suitcases stuffed with cash. It’s also a tale about the collapse of communism, the free-for-all that followed, and the birth of the oligarchs. And it’s a story of plain-old human greed...of just how far the rich may go to get even richer. Viktor Kožený smooth-talked his super-wealthy Aspen neighbors and a Wall Street titan into investing huge sums of cash to snap up Azerbaijan’s state-owned oil company. Host Joe Nocera and investigative journalist Peter Elkind follow the trail, beginning in the Bahamas, where the charismatic financial genius has been lying low.

in episode 7, the narrator Nocera says “Like, isn’t capitalism built on greed? Isn’t that the impulse, the motor that powers the whole system? People wanna make money, right?” No, capitalism is not simply built on greed. Sometimes people just want to create something that they also make a living at but you are a journalist Mr Nocerna (are you making $$ off this show?and maybe you don’t understand the power of words.
Good content, horrible narrator.

The story is compelling and interesting, but the narrator is insufferable. One of the worst narrations I have ever heard.
Bad host/narrator

Could have been an interesting story, but the host/narrator is insufferable and ruins the pod. If his commentary wasn’t bad enough the first time he provided it, he insists upon repeating the worst of his lines.
Great Story but….

Great Story but the second hand commentary between the two made it very hard to listen to.
