About this episode

Legendary investor Stanley Druckenmiller says he’ll be listening to the bond market as the Federal Reserve backs away from its economic easing policies. CNBC’s Steve Liesman breaks down Fed Chair Jay Powell’s tricky road ahead. Hedge funder Bill Ackman bought up enough Netflix stock to make him one of the streamer’s top 20 shareholders. Musician Neil Young set an ultimatum for Spotify, asking the team to remove either Joe Rogan’s ‘The Rogan Experience,’ which Young claims is spreading Covid-19 misinformation, or his own music. Spotify picked its lucrative podcaster Joe Rogan over the works of legendary rocker. Axios reporter Sara Fischer breaks down why Spotify’s optimism about podcast advertising dollars might have justified the decision.
