Gimlet Media's Alex Bloomberg and Slate's Jacob Weisberg discuss the "second golden age of audio" at a Goldman Sachs event. The hosts critique their "radio-centric" view of podcasting and mock Weisberg's suggestion that the audience needs to be "retrained." They argue that these industry leaders are simply pitching investors rather than understanding the medium's true potential.

Alex Sanchez, CEO of the Florida Bankers Association, appeared on Bloomberg Television to argue against foreclosure moratoriums. Sanchez claimed that banks find foreclosure painful and only pursue it as a last resort, while emphasizing that clearing foreclosures is necessary for economic recovery. The interview is criticized for the perceived cozy relationship between the banker and the journalist.
