Business Insider is launching “Well Spent,” a video podcast on the business, technology, and culture of consumerism.
The vodcast is hosted by senior correspondent Katie Notopoulos, who is known for her expertise in tech, internet culture, and economics. In each episode, Notopoulos will explore complicated questions about something everyone loves talking about: buying stuff — what we buy, how we pay, and why we want it.
The 45-minute episodes include insights from real estate correspondent James Rodriguez, senior correspondent Emily Stewart, and deputy executive producer A. C. Fowler, to answer the series’ central question — why do we spend the way we do.
“My favorite stories to write — and to read on Business Insider — are the ones about some new insight into some new trend or shift in the way that people are buying things,” said Notopoulos in a statement. “Those are always the stories I want to keep talking about with my colleagues or my friends. That’s what I wanted to bring to ‘Well Spent’ — those stories where how we shop and buy tells us something bigger about technology or economics in our world.”
