The Journal is a daily news podcast told as a narrative, produced in collaboration with the Wall Street Journal. Every day, we cover one major news story in 15 to 20 minutes. Our focus is on money and business—using those perspectives to examine broader news or going deeper into business stories other outlets may miss. We’ve released investigative reporting on stand-your-ground laws and the fertility industry, covered the fast-moving world of OpenAI and the race to control artificial intelligence, and explored everything from Elon Musk’s business empire to the viral breakout of Labubus. We work with some of the world’s top business journalists, and our show reaches millions of listeners.
