  • Not about building smarter markets

    This podcast got lost a long time ago. It was supposed to be a buildup to the exchange launch and then that got delayed by 3+ years. David is a good host, but the podcast has been meandering aimlessly for years. Like a lot of podcasts they ran out of ideas and started recycling guests.

  • Promoting “hydrogen economy”

    I can’t believe how ignorant the guests on this carbon obsessed show are.

    I listen just to hear their doom and gloom, along with their useless carbon credit schemes and “green hydrogen” garbage.

    The fact most guests don’t even mention nuclear as a solution is a complete and total embarrassment to this podcast and its host.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Special Episode | SmarterMarkets™ Encore: Ideas Worth Repeating with Michael DiRienzo, President & CEO, The Silver Institute
Q: Are there common misconceptions about silver that you'd like to dispel?
A major misconception is that silver is merely a poor man's gold; in reality, silver serves distinct industrial roles and has a long-standing track record as a store of value. The market also faces misperceptions about easy price suppression through short-selling, while the real drivers are supply constraints, demand diversification, and macroeconomic factors such as currency strength and interest rates.
Special Episode | SmarterMarkets™ Encore: Ideas Worth Repeating with Michael DiRienzo, President & CEO, The Silver Institute
Q: So if you were to kind of want to clue people in who are just beginning to think about silver, what are some of the things they should know?
Key takeaways for newcomers include recognizing that silver sits at the intersection of industrial use and store of value, with the energy transition driving rising demand for industrial applications like photovoltaics and electronics, while it also acts as a monetary asset in portfolios. The silver market has structural supply deficits, making the price sensitive to both industrial demand and investor participation, and opportunities exist in exchange-traded products and institutional investment as education and platforms develop.
How to Raise Your Agent Episode 2 | Michelle Finneran Dennedy, Chief Data Strategy Officer, Abaxx Technologies
Q: What questions should leaders ask their developers or engineers?
Ask about how data is sourced, how policy is applied, provenance and timing of decisions, and how to document processes so that policy and governance can adapt quickly as agentic systems evolve.
Special Episode | Scenes from the FT Commodities Global Summit 2026
Q: What are the key drivers and bottlenecks in transforming the critical minerals supply chain?
The discussion emphasized securing diversified, non-Chinese supply chains, accelerating financing and permitting, and improving bankability through policy stability and investment frameworks.
Special Episode | Scenes from the FT Commodities Global Summit 2026
Q: Are you prepared for a long period of disruption, and what does that imply for strategy?
Panelists indicated a mindset of extended disruption, focusing on resilience, risk management, and capitalizing on volatility, even as they hope the crisis ends soon.
