Bloomberg adds two podcasts on politics

Bloomberg Politics announced Friday that it will start two podcasts.

“Masters in Politics” will be hosted by veteran Washington journalists Tammy Haddad, former executive producer of MSNBC’s “Hardball,” and Betsy Fischer Martin, former executive producer of NBC’s “Meet the Press.” The podcast will include regular reporting and analysis from Bloomberg journalists.

This first podcast will be released online on Tuesday, Jan. 19.

Bloomberg Politics will also launch “Culture Caucus,” a podcast hosted by Bloomberg Politics managing editor John Heilemann and Bloomberg Politics contributor Will Leitch. They will explore the intersection of politics and pop culture with special guest hosts and personalities from the worlds of politics, entertainment, tech, sports, business and beyond.

The first episode of “Culture Caucus” posted online on Friday.

“These podcasts are an exciting new step for us as we head towards the thick of the election season,” said Al Mayers, global head of Bloomberg TV & Radio, in a statement. “‘With All Due Respect’ and Bloomberg Politics have already brought a new audience to Bloomberg Media, and we look forward to expanding that reach in the coming weeks.”

Other Bloomberg podcasts include “Odd Lots” on the hot topics in markets, finance and economics, with hosts Joe Weisenthal and Tracy Alloway; “Bloomberg Benchmark” focused on the global economy with hosts Aki Ito, Tori Stilwell and Dan Moss; and “Deal of the Week,” on the biggest deals and M&A trends, with host Alex Sherman.
