  • That’s fascinating

    Listening since first show, but reluctantly signed off some time ago. Guest quality usually very high. Host’s interviewing skills, style, and adaptivity alas, remain wooden. To deem everything ‘fascinating’ is beyond a tic.

  • Barry’s pod is the best!

    I first heard Barry Ritholtz as a guest on Liz Ann Sonders’s equally great podcast (Schwab). I found their discussion so interesting I listed five times.

    Then, to my delight, I found that Barry had his own podcast (Bloomberg). He’s a sharp interviewer, asking questions to get guests to talk freely. He also seems like an all around positive and enthusiastic guy you wouldn’t mind having as a neighbor to chat about markets, economics, cars, or coffee with.

    Some of my favorite interviews are: Bob ... more

  • Bad host

    Barry Ritholtz is annoying always interrupting the guest and pretends that he knows more than the guest. Don’t keep cutting people off with meaningless phrases. Be humble and listen.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Understanding Hyperscalers: Masters in Business with Ankur Crawford
Q: How did Ankur Crawford transition from a technical background to a portfolio manager at Alger?
Her journey was driven by self-awareness and a desire for impact beyond academia. She moved from engineering and research toward investment where she could apply curiosity, ask the right questions, and embrace macro perspectives under mentorship, eventually taking on PM responsibilities.
BONUS: Future Standard President & CIO Mike Kelly
Q: How did you transition from Omega to Frontpoint and then to building Future Standard?
He describes being invited to help build Frontpoint into an institutional hedge fund, later joining Oryx and ultimately helping create Future Standard via Franklin Square, focusing on packaging, distribution, and internal capabilities to serve the wealth channel.
BONUS: Future Standard President & CIO Mike Kelly
Q: Is the story of cold-calling hedge fund legend Lee Cooperman true, and how did that lead to Omega?
Yes; he persistently called hedge fund luminaries from a payphone, and Cooperman answered, giving him a chance that led to his first major break at Omega Advisors.
BONUS: Future Standard President & CIO Mike Kelly
Q: What was the original career plan and how did you get into investing?
Kelly explains growing up in New York and discovering investing early; he pursued internships and landed at Salomon Brothers, moving toward the buy side during and after business school, which set the stage for his hedge fund career.
At The Money: Hungry? Should You Invest in Wheat?
Q: Why use multiple futures maturities in WEAT and how does that affect risk?
Using three distinct contracts across maturities helps smooth out volatility, reduce front-month risk, and provide more stable price exposure for investors, acting as a strategic allocation product.
