Our Editor's Take

There's Wall Street and then there's Wolf Street. The Wolf Street Report podcast features Wolf Richter's thoughts on the financial world. The show's title is in all-caps. That is fitting in a way, given that Richter speaks in all-caps, too. Richter started a website with that name in 2014, and then this podcast.

The podcast's previous name was even more loud than this one, though. In 2011, Wolf started writing his thoughts on Wall Street, and thought he would pick a name to emphasize that male-dominated world. So he named his first website and first book Testosterone Pit. He says that "the name was supposed to evoke a raucous trading pit." But it also caused him many problems with Google. And others didn't want to read articles coming from a site with the word "testosterone" in it. So he changed the site name in 2014 and started The Wolf Street Report podcast in 2020.

The show has a simple premise. It is Wolf's personal, idiosyncratic, look at the financial world. There are no guests on The Wolf Street Report podcast, or special episodes. Wolf worries that the United States is in a new housing bubble. He is critical of the crypto market, noting that there are over 22,000 crypto brands. Wolf also talks about the real costs of "free money," including high inflation. In short, Wolf has real concerns about the state of the US, the Fed, and the state of his stocks. He also worries about big businesses buying up single-family homes and keeping the average American from owning a home. A crypto implosion is another concern.

In the episode "The Price of Easy Money Now Coming Due," Wolf explains all the problems he sees in the current market. In other episodes, he talks about layoffs, hiring freezes, and business resets. He sees many problems in the market, and explains them here. Interest rates and "the messed-up bond market" are also topics on the show. New episodes of THE WOLF STREET REPORT podcast come out every few weeks. Listeners interested in financial issues may enjoy this program.
