Joe Weisenthal

Joe Weisenthal is an executive editor at Bloomberg and co-host of the "Odd Lots" podcast with Tracy Alloway. His work spans traditional markets coverage and unconventional economic perspectives, including extensive coverage of MMT, monetary policy mechanics, and financial market plumbing. Weisenthal was instrumental in making MMT debates accessible to a broader audience and has platformed heterodox economists alongside mainstream voices. His combination of mainstream financial journalism with openness to heterodox perspectives has made Odd Lots one of the most intellectually stimulating financial podcasts. Weisenthal's coverage of repo market mechanics, Treasury market functioning, and the institutional details of Fed reserve management has introduced a generation of financial practitioners to the operational realities of money markets that are rarely explained with such clarity in mainstream financial media.
