I move into my podcast mode
When the weekend comes, I move into my podcast mode. This is my list at the moment.
This is not casual listening. It is how I stay structured, informed and connected to what actually drives business, markets and decision-making.
Global affairs and geopolitics
I follow the world through formats like The World, Radio Correspondents: China, Radio Correspondents: Middle East, The USA Podcast, and The Middle East Podcast. This gives me context behind the headlines – how regions move, how power shifts, and what it means in practice.
Markets, macro and business
There is a clear financial layer in Unhedged, WSJ Take On the Week, Macro Podcast, Swedbank Macro Talk, and The Day with Di. This is where I track sentiment, capital flows and positioning – how the market is actually interpreting reality.
Daily intelligence and briefing
The Daily, Bloomberg Daybreak Europe, Monocle The Briefing, and The Morning Report keep me in sync on a daily basis. Short, focused, high signal – a continuous update loop.
Technology and structural shifts
Through WSJ Tech News Briefing, Hard Fork, and Bloomberg Tech, I follow the underlying shifts – AI, platforms, infrastructure – the forces that reshape industries over time.
Opinion, ideology and strategic perspective
I include formats like The Spectator podcasts and similar long-form commentary. This is where different perspectives are tested, narratives are challenged, and positioning becomes clearer over time.
Perspective and strategic thinking
Formats like Monocle on Design, Momentum, and Nextconomy add a broader layer. This is where business, leadership and communication are put into a longer-term context.
