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.
Follow Maren Talks Money on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever.

We're going to begin in Ukraine, though,
and that continuing assault by Russia almost four years to the day
