Emerging market debt has weathered a long stretch of tight financial conditions—marked by a strong US dollar, higher global rates, and uneven post-pandemic recoveries. With the dollar softening and policy rates beginning to ease, investors are warming up to hard currency EM debt as a potentially attractive source of diversification and carry.    On this episode of Disruptive Forces, host Anu Rajakumar speaks with  Global Co-Head of Emerging Markets Debt Gorky Urquieta to hear what's been driving hard currency EM debt and what role it plays in today's fixed income landscape. Together, they unpack the differences between hard and local currency exposures, explore how dollar dynamics and the Fed's easing cycle can influence performance for EM sovereigns.      This communication is provided for informational and educational purposes only and nothing herein constitutes investment, legal, accounting or tax advice, or a recommendation to buy, sell or hold a security.

Hi everyone, welcome back to Snafu with Robin Zander. This episode is a little different - instead of me hosting, I was actually the guest on my good friend Josh Levine's podcast, Great Mondays Radio. Josh and I went deep on a topic I care about a lot: why soft skills are the hard currency of the future. We explored what really sets humans apart in an age of rapid innovation, the rise of AI, and all the talk about machines taking over jobs. We dug into the skills that can't be automated, the value we bring that AI can never replicate, and why those human capabilities will only matter more in the years ahead. We also touched on leadership, creativity, and how we can all prepare ourselves - and our organizations - for the changes still to come. Please take a moment to subscribe to Josh's show, Great Mondays Radio. It would mean a lot to both of us, and I know you'll enjoy the incredible conversations he's hosting. I'm also excited that Josh will be joining us at Responsive Conference 2025 as a guest - so this won't be the last time you hear from him in our orbit.

Welcome back! In this production, we offer you an analysis of US Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia's recent statement that the right to keep and bear arms can be "regulated". Seems odd, doesn't it, to have something defined as a "right" and yet have a political appointee say such "rights" can be "regulated"? Well we've been talking about this for a long time, and knew this kind of talk would pop up. Why? Because in the 2008 "Heller" decision, a decision many so-called conservatives applauded, Scalia said the same kind of thing. We delve into it and say "we told ya so", and get the able assistance of fellow Conspirator Kurt Hildebrandt! He's a smart guy, and shows us in the exchange he and El G have about this and more. That and music from Love and Rockets "Kundalini Express", Einsterzende Neubaten "Let's Do It A Da Da", The Psychedelic Furs "DUMBWAITERS", WIRE "Hard Currency", Marina and the Diamonds (a new band from the UK!) "Primadonna" and "Homewrecker", Goldfrapp "Lovey 2 C U", Deus "Suds and Soda", Kate Nash "Foundations" Hope you like! Thanks mucho to Kurt! Be Seeing You!

Welcome back to the gang of plotters we call the Liberty Conspiracy! In this program, we offer a podcast version of our May 1, 2012 radio show, on which Gardner Goldsmith covered breaking stories such as the revelation (which we already knew) that Nancy Pelosi lied when she claimed she was not made aware of CIA torture (oh, sorry, "enhanced interrogation in the form of waterboarding, but remember, it's not 'torture' any more, not the way it was in WWII), and we look at the lies of the current President that GM has paid back all of its TARp bailout cash -- Not true by any stretch of the imagination! Then, we take a good look at a mini debate between Ron Paul and Paul Krugman, going more in-depth and seeing who truly believes in freedom and prosperity. This is a valuable segment unto itself, and we hope you'll recommend it to others! That and music from Paul Weller ("Green" and "Around the Lake"), Plan B "Welcome to Hell", Telly Saalas "Who Loves Ya Baby?" (REALLY!), Hall and oates "Rich Girl", Government Issue "Jaded Eyes", WIRE "Comet" and "Hard Currency", Silver SUn Pickups "Panic Switch", and Paul Weller again with "No Tears to Cry" (off "Wake Up the Nation")!! Hope you like it! Be Seeing You!
