Thompson’s podcast, Stratechery, is spirited and insightful, giving a consultant’s perspective on business. His analytical eye is often trained on his alma maters, Apple (AAPL) and Microsoft Corp.

Joe Weisenthal
If you want to keep your feed flush and flooded with all things finance-related, Joe Weisenthal is the investing pro to follow on Twitter.
