  • Hi there, it's Micaela.

  • Most of the time here on Behind the Money,

  • we're bringing you inside the real high-stakes dramas of finance and business from around the world.

  • But this week, we're going somewhere a little bit different.

  • That is, we're going inside the fictional world of the characters on the hit TV drama Industry.

  • Industry tells the story of some very ambitious young people making their way in London's financial sector.

  • And it's not so terribly unlike the reality in which we're all living.

  • Which is part of what I find so fascinating about this show.

  • Season 4 finale just aired earlier this week,

  • and today we're going to be talking with the show's co-creators,

  • Conrad K and Mickey Downe,

  • exploring the overlap between the show's storylines and real-world finance.

  • And just a warning, there are spoilers ahead.

  • Sitting next to me here in our New York studio is my colleague Josh Franklin,

  • who is the FT's US banking editor.

  • Josh reports on some of the major American banks including Goldman Sachs,

  • JPMorgan Chase, and Morgan Stanley here for the FT.

  • He and I have also been talking about industry here in the office quite a bit over the last several weeks.

  • Hey Josh, glad you're here.

  • Very happy to be here.
