Benzinga debuts new podcast on entertainment industry

Financial news site Benzinga has debuted “Benzinga Show Business with Phil Hall,” a weekly podcast that offers an insider’s view on the issues, trends and personalities that shape the business side of the entertainment world.

Hall has been a journalist, publicist, film critic, film festival organizer, concert producer, talk show and podcast host/producer, book author, playwright and horror movie actor.

“Contrary to the old song that says there’s no business like show business, it is easy to forget that show business is very much a business,” said Hall in a statement. “My job on ‘Benzinga Show Business’ is two-fold: giving the listener an insider’s perspective on the state of the multiple segments within the entertainment world while offering a podcast that is engaging, invigorating and, yes, very entertaining.”

“Benzinga Show Business” is part of the company’s Benzinga: The Stock Market Place initiative, which aims to deliver all things stock market related in fast, easy to understand and easy to act on deliverables.

New episodes of “Benzinga Show Business” will be available on Fridays at noon ET and will be found on Benzinga Podcasts, Apple, Spotify and all major podcast platforms.
