Our Editor's Take

The Journal podcast is a collection of stories about events in different parts of the world. Oftentimes, when money, business, and power collide, everyday people must pick up the pieces.

Hosts Kate Linebaugh and Ryan Knuston are well-known contributors to the Wall Street Journal. In this podcast, they leave no stone unturned. Kate and Ryan dive deep into every story, whether it's about hot Silicon Valley start-ups or struggling businesses in the rural Midwest. They cover events that reshape lives and ripple through the world economy. As a result, every story is a thoughtful listen. The Journal podcast encourages honest conversations. It explores hot-button topics like climate change and gun violence with little bias. This allows listeners to make up their own minds. Minimal bias has played a large part in the show's success.

For consistent listeners and first-timers, this podcast is easy to get hooked on. It is both intriguing and expository. It is enjoyable as a roundtable listen with colleagues. The Journal focuses on stories that others news podcasts might overlook. However, each episode is still relatable, exciting, and fresh.
