FT launches markets podcast “Unhedged”

The Financial Times has launched Unhedged, a new podcast that will dissect market trends and discuss how Wall Street’s best minds respond to them.

The podcast will drop every Tuesday and Thursday.

“Unhedged” will be hosted by FT financial reporter Ethan Wu, who will be joined on Tuesdays by FT markets editor Katie Martin.

The podcast will regularly feature FT’s leading markets experts, including U.S. financial commentator Robert Armstrong, Alphaville correspondent Alexandra Scaggs and Alphaville editor Robin Wigglesworth.

Unhedged is a co-production from the FT and Pushkin Industries, continuing a partnership that produced the award-winning investigative series “Hot Money” in 2022. The new podcast extends the FT’s Unhedged brand, which includes the newsletter by the same name, written by Armstrong and Wu.
