  • One of the best global business and markets podcasts around

    This is a great podcast to listen to and get informed views and opinions on what themes are impacting global business and markets. Peter is a knowledgeable host and probes and listens in equal measure. The most recent episode with Dr Stephan Leithner of Deutsche Borse is a fantastic listen. Highly recommend.

  • Good content horrible sound quality

    The content is good but the production quality is soooo bad. Guest microphone quality is inconsistent, volume levels of the speakers are inconsistent and vary throughout the episode. Reuters daily news shows they know how to do sound production, they need to allocate resources here.

  • Probably, the best podcast on global politics and eceonomics

    Opposite its many counterparts, The Exchange isn’t overproduced nor does it feel tightly controlled by a large staff of producers. It’s simply in-debt interviews with some of the smartest, most interesting, and well-selected candidates regarding the given subjects.

    Listening to The Exchange isn’t pleasant because of smooth crossovers, jingles or trying-to-be smooth ambient music, but, merely, as it contains unparalleled content in a rough and direct manner; conversations between the right inter... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The right way to prepare future workers for AI
Q: Is there an honest answer other than I don't know?
Susskind responds that uncertainty about the future is real and suggests embracing it by focusing on enduring cognitive basics and teaching how to use AI critically, rather than attempting to predict exact future jobs.
Bond markets are cause for concern and celebration
Q: You've written about the long arc from medieval Venice to today—what period in history helps us compare this moment?
There isn't a single parallel, but looking at moments when debt expanded after crises—from wars to financial shocks—helps. The key is to understand how debt, growth, and policy interact across eras, and which institutional changes endure as we adapt to new instruments and markets.
Bond markets are cause for concern and celebration
Q: So Robin Wigglesworth, welcome to The Big View.
Thank you for having me. It's a great moment to discuss how bonds have built and continue to shape economies, democracies, and the modern financial system, with a lens on history and the current surge in debt and yields.
Why trade flows are so enduring and hard to stop
Q: What do you think is the most surprising or underappreciated fact about how trade actually happens in the modern era?
Ed Conway highlights how diversification of supply chains and the resilience of logistical networks mean that trade flows persist and adapt, even under sanctions or tariffs, often via rerouting and substitutes in unexpected places.
Why trade flows are so enduring and hard to stop
Q: A lot of interesting ideas, things to talk about in this book and in terms of understanding what's going on in the world. But I think one of the things I'd like to start with is, what struck you about the gap between economic models and the reality of trade?
Ed Conway responds that models are out of date and often fail to capture how supply chains function in practice, prompting a shift to looking at micro-level realities of production and the roles of middlemen and institutions.
