Summary

Does money really make the world go round? Economics, business and finance have long been subjects we leave to the stockbrokers, hedge fund managers and business school professors who spend their lives obsessing over them - but there’s no reason we shouldn’t discuss ‘money’ in the same way we talk about sport and TV. In their new podcast, The Rest Is Money, business correspondent and broadcaster Steph McGovern is joined by old friend and economics expert Robert Peston to explore everything we need to know about the issues that affect us in our everyday lives: how will AI affect your job and our economic prospects? Are we stuck with higher inflation for years to come? Why are wealthy nations like Saudi Arabia buying up sport?

0:00.0	Hi there, Alistair Campbell here. Don't worry, I know this episode is titled The Rest
0:12.4	Is Money, but even though we're approaching the one-year anniversary of the disastrous
0:17.4	Kami Kwazi Trust mini budget, this is not an emergency episode where we're really
0:22.8	Stuart attempts to defend the economic policy of the current Tory government. Instead, this
0:27.5	is just a quick message to let you know that Goldhanger, the company that produced the
0:31.1	Rest Is Politics, has launched a new one, a new podcast with Robert Pestan and Steff
0:36.3	McGuffman called The Rest Is Money. I've known both of them for quite a long time.
0:42.6	Steph, wonderful woman, she's now broadcasted at Channel 4, but for over a decade she was
0:47.2	a business correspondent for BBC News, and I'm not sure how many of you know this, she
0:50.9	started off as Robert Pestan's producer at the BBC back in the days of the financial
0:55.2	crisis, and I'm sure most of our listeners will be familiar with Robert Pestan, currently
0:59.7	ITV political editor before that economic sedition at the BBC. When I first got to know him,
1:04.7	he was political editor of the Financial Times when I was the Prime Minister's official
1:09.1	spokesman. I actually mentioned Robert in this week's main episode, recounting the time
1:13.0	I had the dubious pleasure of appearing next to Nadine Dorees on his show, and I think
1:19.2	it's fair to say that Robert, Steph, me, Rory, Darren Bent, we've all done more for the
1:25.0	constituents of midbeds than Nadine Dorees has over the last few months.
1:29.2	Anyway, if you enjoy the broader business and economic things that we sometimes touch
1:32.6	upon in The Rest Is Politics, I'm pretty sure you'd enjoy The Rest Is Money. It's all
1:37.3	about following the money, charting the latest developments from the world of economics,
1:40.9	business and finance, both home and abroad. Just search The Rest Is Money wherever you
