I'm Mike Byrd, 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 Fullwood, the Economist Wall Street correspondent and I live and work between

Washington DC and New York. Oh, I think I'm in. Hey guys, are you there? Hey Alice. Morning.

Together we are the co-host of money talks.

It's The Economist 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 podcast.

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.

Coupled with some of our own insights, drawn from years of working in industry and journalism.
