00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,359
Speaker 1: Hello, I'm Stephanie Flanders, Senior executive editor for Economics at Bloomberg.

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: For those of you waiting for the Benchmark podcast to return,

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: I've got good news and bad news. The bad news

4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: is that Benchmark isn't actually coming back. The good news

5
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: is that it's being transformed, as I speak, into a

6
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: great new podcast called Stephanomics that we're pretty sure you're

7
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: going to like. Why are we so confident, Well, one

8
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: reason is that some of the key people who brought

9
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: you Benchmark are also closely involved in creating Stephanomics. The

10
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: other reason is that Stephanomics is going to be talking

11
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: to world class experts and Bloomberg's own analysts and journalists

12
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 1: about all the same questions about the economy and economic

13
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,480
Speaker 1: policy that Benchmark was always interested in. Only now we're

14
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: going global and we're bringing these issues to life with

15
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 1: on the ground reports from some of Bloomberg's a hundred

16
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: plus economic journalists around the world. So watch this space

17
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: for Stephanomics. We think you're going to like it.
