The Financial Times and Pushkin Industries have launched Unhedged, a new podcast that will dissect market trends and discuss how Wall Street responds to them. The podcast will be released every Tuesday and Thursday.
Unhedged will be hosted by FT financial reporter Ethan Wu, who will be joined on Tuesdays by FT markets editor Katie Martin. The podcast will regularly feature a roster of the FT’s markets experts, including US financial commentator Robert Armstrong, Alphaville correspondent Alexandra Scaggs and Alphaville editor Robin Wigglesworth, says the publisher.
Supported by PGIM as the inaugural global advertising partner, Unhedged will explain the big ideas behind financial headlines, from the frenzy over AI technologies to Warren Buffet’s wager on Japanese stocks. Each 15-minute episode will offer a global outlook, industry insights and analysis of the latest markets and finance news.
Unhedged is a co-production from the FT and Pushkin Industries, continuing a partnership that produced the investigative series Hot Money in 2022. The new podcast extends the FT’s Unhedged brand, which includes the newsletter by the same name, written by Armstrong and Wu.
“We’re excited to be partnering with the fantastic team at Pushkin on another podcast,” said Cheryl Brumley, the FT’s global head of audio. “There's nothing like Unhedged out there. It’s a fresh and essential take on markets news, featuring some of the sharpest minds and wittiest voices in the FT newsroom.”
“Pushkin Industries is thrilled to be making a show with the best finance journalists on the planet,” said Jacob Goldstein, executive producer at Pushkin Industries. “Unhedged is going to be so smart and so delightful.”
Unhedged is now available at unhedged.ft.com, as well as on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pocket Casts and wherever you get your podcasts.
