  • Abysmal headlines

    I know this applies to the whole podcast, not specific episodes, but this is a bad apple that ruins the whole barrel. 'Debt ceiling crash will have few victims' is the title of 5/25/23. Listen to the podcast to hear that potential impacts are 'a recession' 'a 20% stock market decline' and who will it hurt 'everyone'

  • Content OK, Audio terrible!

    For a media org with the scope of these guys you’d think they could produce a weekly podcast that sounds better than a grade school musical.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Comcast models TV crack-up
Q: Jen, if you were an advisor to these companies, what do you think does make sense? Because, as you said, it doesn't seem like you could make money doing these types of deals. But is there something out there, some sort of unicorn trade?
Jen describes a potential 'unicorn trade' of selling NBC to another entity to unlock value, while acknowledging the complexity of executing large scale media deals amid debt and regulatory scrutiny and the possibility that different assets could be spun off or restructured for value realization.
Comcast models TV crack-up
Q: And Jen, can you talk us through them? Because you mentioned the interesting thing about all of this is that he's not really finished doing deals, right?
Jen explains that Roberts is likely to keep exploring strategic moves, including possible tie-ups or separations, with ongoing activity in the UK and potential attention to NBC or Charter, depending on regulatory and debt considerations.
Wealth crackdown will dent Hong Kong’s revival
Q: What might this crackdown mean for Hong Kong's status as a wealth hub and for international banks operating there?
Answer highlights that while wealth-related businesses are under pressure in the short term, banks may still benefit from a larger overall market and higher-margin corporate flows, with long-term potential if Beijing's trust is earned and channels are properly regulated.
Wealth crackdown will dent Hong Kong’s revival
Q: So Kasing, as we said, this seemed to really ratchet up in May. Why do you think Beijing is cracking down?
Guest explains multiple theories, from fiscal pressures and tax considerations to concerns about the valuation gap between Chinese and US-listed stocks, and the broader aim of channeling outbound investment through legal routes while keeping Beijing in control of capital flows.
The Fed’s new boss gets too much of what he wants
Q: How can Warsh navigate conflicts between presidential aims and market expectations?
The guests suggest building a longer-term framework around AI-driven productivity and a structural case for lower rates, while carefully managing the balance sheet and ensuring a credible, data-driven approach to policy.
