Bloomberg Opinion columnist Barry Ritholtz looks at the people and ideas that shape markets, investing and business.

Description & Steve’s take
Masters of Scale is an original podcast in which LinkedIn co-founder and Greylock partner Reid Hoffman sets out to describe and prove theories that explain how great entrepreneurs take their companies from zero to a gazillion. Most episodes begin with an entertaining tale that sets the stage for Reid to reveal a new theory about scaling. It then unfolds like a detective story as he tests and turns the idea with some of the most iconic masters of scale on the planet. At the end of each episode we come full circle to where we started – a notion, theory, or hunch that starts to make a lot of sense. Much more than just an interview show, this is a genre-defining series on how to think boldly and differently about the world.
Hoffman treats the podcast like a lecture so you don’t miss any points – useful, albeit less relaxing.

Description & Steve’s take
Joe Weisenthal and Tracy Alloway go deep into complex issues and the latest markets crazes.
Amazing breadth of subjects. Great to have two interviewers, both excellent journalists. Exposure to stuff you wouldn’t otherwise have thought of. This is a show many professional investors listen to.

In 2020, I stoked the fire of my passion for interviewing brilliant people by launching The Grant Williams Podcast. Alongside my own interviews, I added three additional streams, each with a fantastic co-host: The End Game (with Bill Fleckenstein), The Super Terrific Happy Hour (with Stephanie Pomboy), and The Narrative Game (with Dr. Ben Hunt).
Sadly, now only for subscribers but bound to still be good. Grant is super smart, likeable and a great interviewer.

We live in a winner-take-all economy that’s bifurcating into those who are part of the innovation economy and those who aren’t.

Other professors, practitioners, and entrepreneurs join Scott to contribute ideas, alternate opinions, and insights to help you thrive at work. Tune in for a no mercy, no malice take on how you can level up your game in the world of business.
Very opinionated and worth listening to.

Hedgeye’s Real Conversations series, hosted by CEO Keith McCullough, brings together the brightest minds in the business to cut through the noise and discuss the financial market moves that actually matter.
McCullough is a slightly Marmite character but has strong views and is always interesting.
Description & Steve’s take
Sometimes we get caught up in what feels like infinite loops when we try to figure things out. Markets go up and down, research is presented and then refuted, and we wind up right back where we started. The goal of this podcast is to learn how we can reset our thinking on issues that leaves us with a better understanding as to why we think the way we think and how we might be able to change that, to avoid going in infinite loops and thoughts. Hosts, Jim O’Shaughnessy and Jamie Catherwood, hope to offer you a fresh perspective on a variety of issues and look at them through a multi-faceted lens. Including history, philosophy, art, science, linguistics, and quantitative analysis. And help you become a better investor and also a more nuanced thinker.
O’Shaughnessey Sr is a likeable character and this podcast is filled with his personality.
Description & Steve’s take
An investing podcast for rational minds. A no-bullshit conversation about value investing and intelligent behavior in business.

Tim Price is a highly opnionated Marmite character – you love him or you hate him. Occasional interesting guests, and always a snappy dialogue.
Description
This podcast’s mission is to dig deep into the thought patterns and analysis of investors and business people. The podcast stemmed from Bill Brewster consistently feeling like he was listening to prepackaged material while listening to podcasts. Instead, he wanted long form, in depth, discussions about finance, capital allocation, and the psychology of investing/business.
