Hello and welcome to the Slate Money Succession Recap Podcast episode five.

This is when it all goes down.

This is the episode we've all been waiting for.

I'm kind of incredibly excited to talk about this one.

I am Felix Hammond of Axios. I am joined by

Emily Peck of The Huffington Post. And this episode is so big and amazing and awesome that we have

not one but two special guests. We have calling in from Reno Nevada, we have Katie Baker.

I, you know, like Naomi, I came off a flight from the West Coast for this.

Katie Baker writes for The Ringer and is based in Nevada or California, actually.

California side.

California side of the California-Nevada border.

And notwithstanding the fact that she lives in California,

she's come all the way to Brooklyn to be on this show. But we're also joined by Jacob Weisberg

of Pushkin Industries, who notwithstanding the fact that he lives just down the street is calling

in from a remote studio somewhere. I'm calling you from what we work on West 29th Street.

So Jacob used to run this shot, Slate, and has now moved on to grander podcastier things.

But what he still believes in more than anything else is the awesomeness of succession.

So we're going to dive right in here.

This, I'm going to say just off the bat, that number one, this was an amazing

episode, but number two, the amazingness was not in the Veep-esque lines. This isn't one of

those episodes where you're like, I just need to quote the whole show because it was so quotable.
