The premiere episode — now available via http://wsj.com/biginterview — features an interview with FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair and Wall Street Journal economics editor David Wessel, during which she discusses the financial-regulatory legislation pending in Congress, the current health of the banking business and what it’s like to be the sole woman among a band of powerful men.

Next week’s guest is White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, who will be interviewed by the Journal’s Washington executive editor Gerald Seib.

“The Big Interview” will be available on-demand every Friday at 10a.m. EST on WSJ.com, MarketWatch.com and Dow Jones Newswires. Guests from myriad industries are scheduled to appear and will have the opportunity to react to the news of the day as well as topics ranging from U.S. and international economic and foreign policy issues, world culture, and arts and entertainment. The live-to-tape interviews are filmed from Wall Street Journal offices in New York and Washington, D.C. as well as on location.

Future hosts for the series include Robert Thomson, managing editor of The Wall Street Journal; deputy editor-in-chief Gerard Baker; deputy managing editor and executive editor, online, Alan Murray; Washington, D.C. bureau chief John Bussey; reporter Kelly Evans; and MarketWatch senior columnist David Weidner.
