I'm Mike Bird, the Economist's Asia Business and Finance Editor, based in Singapore.

I'm Tom Lee Devlin, the Economist's Global Business Correspondent, and I'm based here at our London headquarters.

I'm Alice Fulwood, the Economist Wall Street correspondent, and I live and work between Washington, D.C. and New York.

Morning.

Together, we are the co-hosts of Money Talks.

It's The Economist's podcast about business, financial markets, and the economy.

Each week, one of us will lead you through an in-depth

look at one of the world's most important stories. Like how AI turned Nvidia into a trillion-dollar

company. Or whether China is about to eat the global car industry's lunch. Or how the audio market

is saturated with far too many podcasts.

Oof, that's a bit close to the bone, Tom.

Yeah, mate, this is supposed to be a trailer for our podcasts.

Well, that's why we have to tell people about the things that make us unique.

Like the economist's unmatched knowledge of business and finance.

Whatever the subject, we don't just scratch the surface of it.

No, we cut it into pieces, shake it around to see what rattles,

and then weld it back together into a beautifully sculpted work of art.

Uh, yeah, thanks, Mike.

Each week we speak to some of the world's top experts and biggest movers and shakers.
