A great experience... on radio! Sep 25 2007
10 comments Latest by Tamlyn Rhodes
I’ve been listening to Bloomberg Radio a lot lately (it’s 130 on Sirius if you’ve got it). I’m really impressed.
I’ve always been a bit of a stock market/finance junky. An inordinate number of my dreams contained scrolling tickers (and I swear they were in color). That stopped a few years ago, thankfully.
I’ve seen my share of CNBC, I’ve read my share of the WSJ, and I’ve picked up financial news in a lot of other places too.
But I’ve never been as impressed with the depth, approachability, accuracy, clarity, and overall presentation of the financial news as I have been with Bloomberg Radio. They explain things clearly, they make sense of detailed and confusing topics, and the voices have a careful, pleasent calm that belies the chaos of the markets themselves.
This is good radio. If you can pull in Bloomberg Radio you should give it a listen. Even if you’re not a finance junky, you stand to learn a lot and experience real quality programming.

Never mind, the link wasn’t working for me, but now it does :)

Click on “Live Radio” on the right side of the linked page for online streaming.

When I was a trader at Deutsche Bank it was almost like it became part of me, like some sort of weird trader/tool symbiont. I keep trying to invent ways in our accounting SaaS to get that same feeling I had for our customers.

Isn’t Bloomberg Radio the same as Bloomberg TV, but aired on the radio? Either way, anything produced by Bloomberg is excellent. You should check out their Markets magazine if you haven’t already (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/marketsmag/).

“and the voices have a careful, pleasent calm”
You mean calmer than Jim Cramer?

For financial news, you really can’t beat Marketplace on NPR / American Public Media. It is only a half hour a day, but the quality and compactness is second to none. And it can be pretty entertaining, too.

The Financial Sense Newshour is a great weekly show that I never miss.

Off topic but isn’t it a myth that we only dream in colour? It’s just that for most things in dreams it doesn’t matter what colour they are and so they simply have no colour. It’s not that they’re black and white, they just have no colour attribute. If the colour of something is relevant to the dream then it does have a colour and that colour can be ‘seen’ and recalled later.

I of course meant to say “Isn’t it a myth that we only dream in black and white?“
