March 14, 2022 Media Monday - Axios' Ambitions, The Decline of Cable News, and The New York Times "Lifestyle"
Welcome to the first episode of The Powers That Be: Daily! To celebrate this momentous new endeavor, Peter sits down with Puck co-founder Jon Kelly, who will be joining us every Monday to talk about the media. The two dig into Axios' ambition to become a multi-headed media giant, how the decline of cable news is similar to the fall of the magazine industry, The New York Time's new executive editor, and why everyone wants to be a SaaS company (and what the hell that is).

March 11, 2022 Putin's Long Game and Betting Against Russia's Economy
On this week's episode, Peter sits down with writer Julie Ioffe to talk about Putin’s brutal long game in Ukraine – and whether the west will slowly stop paying attention. They discuss the tragic images of a maternity hospital in Ukraine getting hit by a Russian attack, Putin's possible war crimes, and they try to understand the mindset of The Russian President as he wages this war.

Peter also sits down with writer William Cohan to talk about his new Puck News piece about Wall Street investors trying to make money by betting against Russia's suffering economy. They ask if it's moral and what bets are being made right now.
