Karl Denninger has been an outspoken detractor of the Federal Reserve's policies. His blog market-ticker.org has garnered attention from media sources for its straightforward, and often controversial, tone. In this interview, Karl discusses his days as an executive at a telecommunications company, how his trading style has evolved over recent years and why he thinks there is less transparency in the financial system. We look forward to having Mr. Denninger back on our show next year to discuss developing financial stories. If you'd like to see video excerpts of the interview, click here.
Former NFL Quarterback Drew Bledsoe sat down with us to talk football and business. Bledsoe is best known as the starting quarterback for the New England Patriots, Buffalo Bills, and Dallas Cowboys. After throwing for 44,611 yards and 251 touchdowns, Bledsoe retired after the 2006 season. But life after football has been anything but boring, as Bledsoe has been actively involved in his new wine company, Doubleback, as well as his investment arm, Bledsoe Capital Group. Our interview is 50 minutes long, but we have provided five selected scenes for easier viewing on this Thanksgiving Weekend. Happy Thanksgiving to all and don't forget to watch some football!

What is an economic hit man? John Perkins says, "Economic Hit Men (EHMs) are highly paid professionals who cheat countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars." Former economic hit man and author of the New York Times Bestseller Confessions of an Economic Hit Man sat down with Matt Davio just two months shy of the release of his new book Hoodwinked. Perkins explains how he went from graduating Brown University to traveling around the world trained to cajole foreign leaders into negotiating business deals that would ultimately exacerbate their country’s economy. We hope to have Perkins back to talk about his new book and what we can do to help remake the financial markets.
