"POLITICO Money" brings you a special episode of POLITICO's new podcast series "Global Translations."  From closed factories to closed borders, the Covid-19 pandemic exposed the fragility of our systems, creating a period of scarcity where demand skyrocketed — from freezers to PPE — and we couldn't supply items fast enough.

In the latest POLITICO Money podcast from Milken, we asked attendees what keeps them up at night. Several, including Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio), a presidential candidate, said it’s cyber attacks. Others cited the environment and health care and an economic shock from outside the U.S.. And one cited the fact that he’s booked for three parties at the same time Tuesday night in L.A.. #FirstWorldProblems

Greetings from Los Angeles, where the sun finally broke through this afternoon and where we're bringing you a special podcast from the annual Milken Institute Global Conference, a gathering of more than 4,000 of some of the splashiest names in politics, finance, entertainment and sports. POLITICO Money will offer quick hits from the conference through Wednesday.

As talks between the U.S. and Canada over a new North American Free Trade Agreement head into crunch time in Washington this week, the latest POLITICO Money podcast takes you inside the room for the high-stakes talks.

For a long time now, the economy has been doing quite well, thank you very much. Job growth is up, unemployment is near a 50-year low and the stock market has been on a bullish climb for more than 10 years — nearly the longest stretch in its history by some accounts. All that good economic news has the Trump administration pleased. The president’s economic advisor Larry Kudlow boasted that the White House’s policies — including protectionist tariffs, tax cuts and loosening of regulations — deserve the credit.  "Our economy, our investors, our workforce are crushing it right now.  We are crushing it," he told the president at a cabinet meeting on cabinet meeting last week. As the midterm elections move closer, Republicans are hoping the rosy economic picture will prevent a "blue wave" of Democrats from taking control of the House of Representatives, and perhaps even Congress. But will a steadily rising stock market, good job numbers and consistent economic growth be enough to make a difference for the G.O.P. in November? This week on Money Talking, Charlie Herman speaks with Ben White, chief economic correspondent for Politico and host of the podcast "Politico Money" about whether or not voters will be thinking about their pocketbook when they enter the voting booth.

Former BLS Commissioner Erica Groshen joins POLITICO Money to discuss how the very low unemployment number masks some persistent weaknesses in our economy. Plus, Brenda Dryer, the director of workforce solutions in Ames, Iowa, explains the conditions in the city with the lowest unemployment rate in the nation at just 1.4 percent.

House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows joins POLITICO Money to discuss being a fiscally conservative stronghold in the midst of exploding deficits and rising debt. Meadows also speaks out against the White House's handling of the Rob Porter scandal and explains why the House should take the lead of immigration. Meadows is undoubtedly frustrated. But he won't overthrow the House leadership ... not yet, at least.

Is the cryptocurrency's rise just beginning or near its end? In the latest POLITICO Money podcast, experts pick apart the bitcoin speculation.

Blackstone President Tony James joins POLITICO Money this week to discuss the Republican's tax reform plan, the stock market's stability, and if Hillary Clinton's Wall Street ties ultimately cost her the 2016 election. James also explains why he does not believe that the markets are crying out for corporate tax cuts and how specific provisions in the tax reform bill would hurt business growth.

President Donald Trump ended months of reality show-style speculation by picking Jay Powell to lead the central bank, settling on a seasoned veteran for one of the world's most important economic jobs and signaling there won't be drastic changes at the Fed. In a bonus episode of POLITICO Money, Ben White and Victoria Guida dive into why the president chose Powell, if he'll actually be all that different from Janet Yellen, and what this means for the markets.

POLITICO's new podcast POLITICO Money takes over the Nerdcast feed. In the first episode, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin opens up about his relationship with President Trump and how he became treasury secretary, what's on his bookshelf, the Lakers, and D.C. versus L.A. Plus, the treasury secretary tells Ben White a tax overhaul is guaranteed by the end of the year.

Join Ben White and the POLITICO team every Wednesday as we take listeners inside the world of Wall Street and Washington. We'll unpack major news moments, hear from leading voices on the economy, and help you understand the policies that move markets. Our first episode with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin will debut October 18.
