About the time it takes to grab a coffee, so search Barclays Brief wherever you get your podcasts.

  Hello, I'm Michelle Hussain. And for more than 20 years, I was at the BBC, presiding over political debates.

• 1:35Speaker 02

  Welcome to the BBC Prime Ministerial Debate.

• 1:38Speaker 03

  Covering international news. The United States has completed its military withdrawal from Afghanistan 20 years. And reporting on some pretty famous people. Your Royal Highness, Meghan Markle, congratulations to both. Thank you. Can we stop? It was thrilling to be in the front row, to watch history unfold, even if I did have to get up at 3 a.m. most mornings.

• 2:04Speaker 03

  But all the time I was delivering the headlines, I wanted to go further than the news of the day. I wanted to talk about the ideas behind it, to spend more time with the people shaping our world. And that's what I'm doing here on this podcast from Bloomberg Weekend. I speak with people like Elon Musk.

  Cultural figures like succession creator Jesse Armstrong. You are writing about that world of the super rich again. And there's a...

• 2:52Speaker 06

  Sorry.

• 2:54Speaker 03

  Well, I wondered why.

• 2:55Speaker 06

  I believe I'm doing it because I'm interested in the power, not the money.

• 2:58Speaker 03

  And Shonda Rhimes. How did you feel about Bridgerton being described as woke? I didn't know anybody described it as woke. The Telegraph called it pandering to woke casting. That's so cute. This is going to be a place where every weekend you'll hear one essential conversation. But I hope that it's also going to be a place with head, heart and soul.

• 3:19Speaker 07

  Personal conversational.
