Introducing: Bloomberg Money

"Here at Bloomberg, we spend all week talking about markets and the economy. And on Fridays, we help you make sense of what it all means for your money." That’s the pitch for Bloomberg Money, a new weekly podcast from the Odd Lots team that shifts the lens from macro abstractions to the concrete financial decisions listeners face every day. Hosted by Scarlet Foo and Tom Keen, the show promises to bridge the gap between the big-picture forces that dominate financial news and the personal choices—saving, investing, retiring—that those forces actually shape.

The Core Premise: From Markets to Money

The throughline of Bloomberg Money is straightforward but important: the same economic currents that move bond yields and stock indices also determine whether a listener can afford a house, retire on time, or sleep through a market downturn. The hosts argue that most financial coverage stops at explanation—why the Fed raised rates, why inflation is sticky—without ever connecting those dots to an individual’s wallet. Their show is designed to be that connector. Each episode will bring in economists, strategists, and wealth managers not to debate policy, but to answer practical questions: What does this mean for my 401(k)? Should I adjust my asset allocation? How do I think about risk in this environment? The goal is to make the listener feel equipped, not just informed.
