  • JEN & KRISTEN ROCK!!

    So so interesting - my new favourite podcast!!

    I’m not even based in the USA, nor do I work in the finance sector, but I’m interested in investing.

    Jen and Kristen are the real deal, explaining news, information and stories about the financial markets in a way that’s easy to digest and understand. And their guests are fabulous mix also.

  • Fine, but not a lot of value here

    No a slam on these two people specifically.

    Cons:

    takes forever to get to the point, lots of repetition.

    No real output.

    Oddly self congratulatory.

    Tough to listen to: sing song-y, slows down to underline. Lazy

    Pros:

    Legitimate background of the hosts.

    Strong marketing/socials PR

    Thx

  • Love this pod

    I’ve been listening to Wall Street skinny for awhile now and it’s become one of my favorite podcasts - a must listen. I am an attorney working in the finance industry without much finance background and I feel that Kristen and Jen have helped me educate myself on areas of finance outside my specific practice area. Their insights are great, content is interesting and they make it accessible.

  • Smart and savvy must listen

    As a retired finance executive, I have Bloomberg, WSJ, FT, and Kristen and Jen in my rotation for keeping up on market chatter. They have quality guests and ask the right questions. Their Industry recaps are icing on the cake.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Stocks Could Drop 10% Before Year-End: feat. Wellington Macro Strategist Mike Medeiros
Q: How might fiscal policy and the Treasury's actions interact with the Fed's stance?
Medeiros argued that fiscal drag could dampen growth next year, which would ease some pressure on the Fed to tighten further, provided inflation stays on a downward trajectory and financial conditions tighten appropriately.
Why Stocks Could Drop 10% Before Year-End: feat. Wellington Macro Strategist Mike Medeiros
Q: Do you think the Fed's move today was about signaling credibility rather than changing policy pace?
Yes, the discussion pointed to signaling credibility and adjusting expectations for future policy rather than committing to an aggressive near-term hiking path; forward guidance may become more data-dependent.
Why Stocks Could Drop 10% Before Year-End: feat. Wellington Macro Strategist Mike Medeiros
Q: What was the market implication of the Fed's hawkish tilt and Warsh's press conference?
The guest explained that the hawkish signal and the emphasis on tighter financial conditions suggest a short- to medium-term headwind for equities and credit, with potentially a longer tightening trajectory if inflation remains elevated.
OpenAI's Lawyer: How Big Tech is Winning the AI Race in the Courts
Q: So John, we'd love it if you could give a little bit of your background and talk about what you think the biggest issues are today.
John explains Quinn Emanuel's exclusive focus on disputes work, their global scale, and how the firm helps clients pressure-test novel deal structures for legal risk, with a special emphasis on AI-related litigation and the rising importance of trade secrets in driving litigation strategies.
Spotify Executive: How to Become a $100B Company When Everyone Expects Your Product Free
Q: Can I monetize through Spotify if I'm an independent artist without a big label deal?
Yes. Spotify supports independent artists via distribution partners who publish songs to the platform with relatively small cuts, and the vast majority of the 70% of revenue paid out goes to rights holders, including artists depending on their contract. This creates a path to earnings for indie creators even without a major label.
