‘The Business’ will be hosted by journalists Hannah Prevett and Dominic O’Connell and sponsored by professional services company PwC
Each week, the duo will delve into one important and topical business story, providing listeners with sharp analysis and unparalleled insight. Joining them will be exclusive expert guests, ranging from start-ups to tech titans, market movers to City CEOs, who will share their perspectives on the stories shaping the world of business.
This podcast, sponsored by PwC for the first six months, will uncover the personalities, power plays, boardroom dramas and sheer ambition that drive the world of business, with Hannah and Dominic getting the inside story from the people who are in the room when the deal goes down.
O’Connell said: “For years I have been having conversations with top business people to try and work out what is going on behind the scenes.
“This podcast will give listeners the opportunity to hear those conversations, and understand that chief executives are much like everyone else — trying to do the best job, and with a complex range of motivations and limitations.”
Prevett commented: “This is a pivotal moment for business — companies are navigating economic headwinds, political change and the AI revolution.
“Our podcast will cut through the noise to tell the real stories behind the headlines and explore why they matter to all of us.”
Kate Ford, executive producer and deputy head of podcasts, said: “The Times and The Sunday Times are renowned for their in-depth business coverage. With The Business podcast, we’re excited to bring that expertise into audio.
“Hosted by world-class journalists, alongside guests from the front line of business, we’ll bring alive the big stories of the day – it’ll be essential listening for anyone who wants to stay on top.”
