Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to Odd Lots, a new podcast from Bloomberg.
Speaker 1: I'm Joseph Wisenthal, co host of What You Missed on
Speaker 1: Bloomberg TV and an editor at Bloomberg Markets. I'm here
Speaker 1: with my colleague Tracy Alloway. Hi there, I'm executive editor
Speaker 1: of Bloomberg Markets, and I'm really excited to be here
Speaker 1: for our new podcast, odd Lots. For those of you
Speaker 1: who don't know, an odd thoughts is a small bundle
Speaker 1: of stocks or bonds. It's relatively unusual. People. You usually
Speaker 1: pay a premium to trade it. This is free. You're
Speaker 1: not paying a premium. But we're going to be discussing
Speaker 1: some interesting ideas, and so they don't normally fit within
Speaker 1: the normal trading patterns of the day. Is at the
Speaker 1: idea exactly? We're doing something a little bit different here
Speaker 1: and how does it fit with you? Know? We? You
Speaker 1: and I. We do stuff on the web all day.
Speaker 1: We blog and tweet and send out charts, and how
Speaker 1: do you see what we're doing fitting with that? We
Speaker 1: got a three hundred sixty degree view of markets. We
Speaker 1: cover stocks, credit, bond, commodities, you name it, we're covering it.
Speaker 1: This is our chance I think and you'll have to
Speaker 1: tell me what you think about it to really get
Speaker 1: into some of those themes that we're seeing and discuss
Speaker 1: them in a bit more detail. Right, we're going to
Speaker 1: be talking about finance, market economics, market structure, geo politics,
Speaker 1: and everything that we kind of want to talk about.
Speaker 1: We can think of odd lots as the overflow area
Speaker 1: for all the interesting financial and market stuff that we see.
Speaker 1: I wanted to have longer conversations with people. You always
Speaker 1: want more time, and so for our first episode, we're
Speaker 1: going to be talking with Tom Keene, the legendary host
Speaker 1: here at Bloomberg of Bloomberg Surveillance on TV and radio. Hello, Tom,
Speaker 1: good to be here. Why do you like podcasts? And
Speaker 1: you you talk about why you like them and you
Speaker 1: think it's a good format. What appeals to the Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's really important. We learned a lot years ago with iTunes.
Speaker 1: With doing podcasts. The number one thing we know is
Speaker 1: what we don't know about video. There's a huge mystery
Speaker 1: to video is going to be consumed. There's no story
Speaker 1: about audio. Audio gets consumed. That's a number one thing
Speaker 1: about podcasts. So people will listen. We we we know
Speaker 1: from all sorts of research, audio wins over video every
Speaker 1: day that may change. People have been predicting it would
Speaker 1: change for years, but so far post for the first episode,
Speaker 1: you'll be able to listen to us talk about Tom
Speaker 1: Keane and his extraordinary and unusual background, as well as
Speaker 1: the economy, the big issues, and particularly how mathematics and
Speaker 1: music relate to the market. All right, well, I can't
Speaker 1: wait to have this conversation and I hope everybody out
