I've spent the last three decades trying to better understand money across the boardroom,
the newsroom, and the trading floor.
That's longer than most podcast hosts have been alive.
But even I've got questions.
Join me, Maren's Upset Web, every week for my show, Maren Talks Money, from Bloomberg Podcasts,
where I have in-depth conversations with fund managers,
strategists, and experts about how markets really work.
And join me for a separate episode where I answer listener questions on how to make those markets work for you.

BBC World Service,
you're listening to News Hour with Owen Bennett-Jones and it's election day in Japan.
And the country's first female Prime Minister, Sana'a Takahichi, who called the vote,
is seeking enough backing to form a stable Liberal Democratic Party government.
Now, the LDP is used to holding power in Japan.
It's basically been in charge almost continuously since 1955.
But recent elections, 24-25, showed that the LDP had lost support.
The question today then, can she restore the party to its predominant position?
Here are a couple of voters outside a polling station in Tokyo.
