  • Katie

    Can't wait for Katie to return. The fill-in cohosts have been markedly worse.

  • Bring back Mary!

    Loved the recent episode with Mary Childs in Katie’s absence. Her and Matt definitely have a good vibe going (shameless book blogs not withstanding). Looking forward to the next 6 months!

  • Listen up folks

    We all came here for Matt but Katie is so essential to the ops that, after one episode with a guest house, the whole thing shut down. Long live Matt and Katie.

  • The Ads…

    Love this show and the hosts, but I’ve never heard a podcast with the frequency and length of ad breaks as this one. Significantly impairs the listening experience.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Re-run: Midnight Madness: Ryan Patch and Jon Seale
Q: What's the role of the game controllers in Midnight Madness and how do they affect the experience?
Game controllers act as personalized mentors who meter out hints in a way that is challenging yet supportive, adding a human element of pressure and reward that aligns with the Wall Street vibe while keeping participants from frustration.
Re-run: Midnight Madness: Ryan Patch and Jon Seale
Q: How do you balance making puzzles hard enough to be engaging but not so hard that players rage quit?
The balance comes from designing puzzles that require a logical leap but provide breadcrumbs or hints that can guide players back onto the right track, along with an adaptive hint system and playtesting to calibrate difficulty across groups.
Re-run: Midnight Madness: Ryan Patch and Jon Seale
Q: Can you explain what a puzzle hunt actually is and how it differs from a scavenger hunt?
A puzzle hunt involves clues that require lateral thinking and connections between seemingly unrelated data, often with a narrative and an overarching final solution, whereas scavenger hunts are more about locating items or completing simple tasks with less emphasis on deep puzzle-solving.
Re-Run: Boaz Weinstein
Q: Why is there skepticism about liquidity promises in private credit funds?
Market participants worry that NAVs may be overstated and that outflows can outpace the liquidity of the underlying assets, leading to forced selling, reduced distributions, and potential erosions in investor value if managers cannot effectively manage redemptions.
Re-Run: Boaz Weinstein
Q: What is the core trade being pursued with Blue Owl and the private BDCs?
The guest describes using tenders to buy a stake at a discount to NAV, aiming to unlock value by purchasing illiquid assets at a discount and potentially redeeming or cycling through the portfolio as markets move, while balancing liquidity risk and management incentives.
