Hello, welcome to the ironic norm core trifle episode of Slate Money or guide to the business and finance news of the week. I am Felix Salmon of Axios. I am here with Emily Peck of Huffpost.

Hello. I am here with Anna Schmky of Breaking Views.

Hello.

And rather excitingly, we are here with one of the most English people you will ever hear on this show and one of the smartest people you will ever hear on this show and one of the smartest people you will ever

hear on this show the great polymath mr. Ben shot Ben introduce yourself who are

you and what do you do? Whato.

I am a writer and a designer, I'm a columnist for Bloomberg opinion and you know a man about town when I'm allowed out.

You're also the second coming of PG Woodhouse?

Ah yes, this is true. I was granted permission by the Woodhouse estate to carry on the Jeeves and Worcester novels.

And volume two is out in just under a month I think.

Exciting I can as someone who may have got a sneak peek of volume two it's

fantastic. Ben has written a glorious piece of cultural criticism about Blands.

You will find out what Blands are in Section 3 of this here podcast which is one of the best sections we've recorded in many, many episodes.

So stick around for that.

We are also going to talk about Citigroup and how it's doing. We're also going to

talk about breeder Wars, the Parents versus Non-parents Fight that's going on at Facebook

and Twitter and more generally what kind of responsibility companies have to their

employees and especially the employees who are parents in these COVID times. We have a slate plus all about Nicola which winds up segwaying into a

disquisition on the nature of trust and institutions. It's a jam-packed episode and I hope you will stick around for all of it coming up on slate money
