“The Businessweek Show” coming next month

Bloomberg Media will launch a talk show called “The Businessweek Show” on Oct. 12.

Hosted by veteran Bloomberg Businessweek contributor Max Abelson, the show will explore the themes and motivations behind some of Businessweek’s best stories.

“We’re going to ask complicated and profound people about their careers and ideas and lives – and about their ambition, their jealousy, their risks, their failures and their imagination,” said Abelson on Twitter.

Abelson is a Wall Street reporter for Bloomberg News, where his feature stories on money and power often appear in Businessweek.

He’s written about pandemic phone calls with a billionaire, one of the biggest bank collapses ever, a banker’s quest for a non-racist bank, the trillion dollar decade, billions of dollars of overdraft fees, star traders in trouble, Wall Street’s secret arbitration system, Cantor Fitzgerald’s soiled mug, a 13-year fight bias fight inside Goldman Sachs, the battle between Barclays and a doctor’s victims, an undocumented immigrant who became a Wall Street star and the fall of black diversity in banking.
