The AI Podcast Revolution And How Steven Barlett Is Tackling It
Diary Of A CEO founder and host Steven Bartlett is diving into AI. His company, FlightStory, currently releases an AI-made podcast using his voice. Bartlett says the users know the show is AI-generated and it still has a strong retention rate, with 60% of the audience staying through the end. The AI replication scares him—but not as much as the idea of someone else doing it first. 'There's always a bulldozer coming for you,' says Bartlett. 'You have a choice to either be hit by the bulldozer or to drive the bulldozer.'

Your favorite of all time For the past year, I've felt like I was in the worst music drought ever. I find myself recycling the same playlists, same albums, same artists over and over again. I think I know the words to every song I have ever heard at this point. We've had a few music conversations in the Courier newsroom, notably around the time when "A Complete Unknown," the Bob Dylan biopic came out and a few editors and reporters declared their dislike for Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and other similar artists. I won't name names to save my colleagues the grief. I'd say I consume more music than the average listener. I listen to everything. From pop, rock, indie and rap to country, metal, folk, jazz and every sub-genre in between. Looking at my most recent Spotify plays, artists include Lorde, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, St. Vincent, Norah Jones, Mac DeMarco, Doechii, Modern Baseball, Taylor Swift, Turnstile, Steely Dan and Third Eye Blind. While all of these artists are fabulous, I need new stuff. So my question to you, Business Courier readers, is what is your favorite album of all time? Or, is there an artist or song you have on repeat right now? I'm open to any and all genres from any decade. Email me at lschwartz@

Stocks ease, US yields rise after hot US inflation data shakes confidence in Fed rate cut
By Chibuike Oguh and Naomi Rovnick NEW YORK/LONDON (Reuters) -Global stocks edged lower on Thursday, with equities on Wall Street ending flat, while U.S. Treasury yields rose after market expectations for Federal Reserve interest rate cuts were shaken by surprisingly strong inflation data. The benchmark S&P 500 eked out a fresh closing high for the third straight session, while the Dow and the Nasdaq finished little changed. The Dow Jones Industrial Average eased 0.02%, the S&P 500 rose 0.03% and the Nasdaq Composite dipped 0.01%. "We've had a good ride for the last few trading days," said Genter Capital Management CEO Dan Genter. "The PPI (Producer Price Index) number was not something that was going to rally the market further, but it also wasn't something that was going to particularly scare the market." U.S. producer prices rose 0.9% in July, the Labor Department reported, surpassing consensus forecasts for a 0.2% gain. Investors have been watching for signs of inflation pressures from U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs. European stocks held gains from earlier in the day and were last 0.55% higher. MSCI's gauge of stocks across the globe fell 0.12% to 951.91, taking a breather a day after hitting an all-time high. "I think the market is falling into an acceptance that the overall economy is slowing ... and having some confirmation with the inflation numbers puts us in a good place for at least two 25-basis-point cuts that this market is going to need for support," Genter added. U.S. Treasury yields leaped after the inflation data as expectations for jumbo Fed rate cuts faded. The two-year note yield was last up 4.5 basis points at 3.732%. The benchmark U.S. 10-year note yield rose 4.9 basis points to 4.289%. Money markets showed traders still almost unanimously expect the Fed to cut borrowing costs next month, although some traders have lowered their bets. Markets are predicting a 92.5% chance that the Fed will cut rates by 25 basis points in September, down slightly from 94.3% on Wednesday but up from nearly 59% a month ago, according to the CME FedWatch tool. "We have been too anxious to draw a conclusion that the economy is fine; it's not overheated," said Peter Andersen, founder of Andersen Capital Management in Boston. "But this wholesale data does show that perhaps there is some inflation working, and we shouldn't be so quick to conclude we need to cut interest rates." "It reinforces the case that the Fed might say we still don't have a clear picture yet, based on the tariffs in the employment picture to take any action, and I would expect that they would tend to be neutral and make no change in September as opposed to the majority of opinions out there," Andersen said. About 70% of global investors expect U.S. stagflation, with growth slowing as consumer price rises accelerate, to become the dominant market narrative within three months, a Bank of America survey found this week. The dollar rose against major peers after falling in the prior session. It strengthened 0.25% to 147.75 against the Japanese yen and was up 0.39% at 0.808 against the Swiss franc. The euro fell 0.49% to $1.1647. The dollar index tracking the greenback against peers, including the euro and Japan's yen edged 0.5% higher. Trump on Wednesday threatened "severe consequences" if Russian leader Vladimir Putin did not agree to peace in Ukraine at a Friday meeting and has also floated the idea of a second summit that would include Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, rose from almost a two-month low to settle up 1.84% to $66.84 a barrel and U.S. crude added 2.09% to settle at $63.96. Spot gold fell 0.57% to $3,335.34 an ounce. U.S. gold futures for December delivery settled 0.7% lower at $3,383.20. 擷取數據時發生錯誤 登入存取你的投資組合 擷取數據時發生錯誤 擷取數據時發生錯誤 擷取數據時發生錯誤 擷取數據時發生錯誤
