THE GRANT WILLIAMS PODCAST: John ELLIs
Joining me on this episode of The Grant Williams Podcast is John Ellis, the founder and editor of News Items and Political News Items.
During his career, John has worked with NBC News as a political analyst, The Boston Globe as a columnist, Business Insider as political editor, and News Corp, where he worked on special projects for Rupert Murdoch.
In 2016, John launched News Items, which became The Wall Street Journal CEO Council’s morning newsletter. Subsequently John relaunched News Items as an independent newsletter in 2019 and his articles have been published in Fast Company, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal and Real Clear Politics.
In this fascinating conversation, John and I discuss Code Inequality and the dangers it poses to society as well as the implications for governments as the rise of AI continues. We also discuss the lack of understanding in mainstream media about the level of threat posed by the financialization of everything.

THROUGH HER EYES.
A PODCAST INTERVIEW IN TWO PARTS.
Our inaugural podcast features Karen Karniol-Tambour, Bridgewater Associates’ co-Chief Investment Officer. Jim Haskel (also of Bridgewater) and I spoke with her last week at the company’s offices in Westport, CT. As you will hear, we covered a wide range of topics, from markets to geopolitics to climate.
It's said that energy and intelligence are what make a great podcast, Ms. Karniol-Tambour is a podcaster’s dream.
News Items Podcast
BYJOHN ELLIS AND REBECCA DARST
Ninety percent of the news out there tells you nothing about where the world is going — ten percent of it tells you everything. Every afternoon on the News Items Podcast with John Ellis, John and Rebecca Darst focus on that ten percent — news that’s interesting, important or both. The podcast is based on John Ellis’ News Items, an email newsletter that goes out to organizations including the Council on Foreign Relations, Samsung Next, and the Wall Street Journal. Tune in every Monday through Thursday afternoon to hear decades of journalistic experience packed into 20 or so minutes of insight, plus guest interviews on finance, U.S. politics, foreign affairs, science and technology.
