For our third series, we launched with Ben Francis of Gymshark. For our 4th series, we launched with Rishi Sunak. 

In this special launch episode of our 5th series, we are speaking to none other than Andrew Bailey, Governor of the Bank of England. 

But what does the Bank actually do? How do the 4,500 people employed there combine to control an entire economy? And how does a 340-year-old institution adapt to new technologies like cryptocurrency? 

This is the first episode in our 5th series and we couldn’t be starting it off with a bigger guest. In his first podcast since 2020, this episode touches on everything from Russian sanctions to cryptocurrency and where the economy is growing fastest. 

In this episode we discuss:
