Hello Stephanomics listeners. It's me Stephanie Flanders, and I'm excited to share that I will be finally back in your ears with a new podcast series starting this Friday. As many of you know famously, this is the year of elections. Around forty percent of the world's population have voted or will have the chance to vote, and those votes will
shape the geoeconomic landscape for years to come. The implications are huge and well worth exploring, which is exactly what I'm going to do each week with my colleagues Bloomberg opinion columnist and author Adrian Wooldridge and Bloomberg contributor former government advisor Allegra Stratton. It's the rebooted podcast series voter Nomics, to weekly look at the way geopolitics and elections are upending the long standing assumptions of policymakers and business people
around the world. Each Friday, we'll take a few steps back from the weekly news agenda to help you understand how the latest political movements are influencing markets, business and policy. You'll hear insights from influential voices in government and in the boardrooms from our journalists in Washington, Westminster, and across the globe and from some folks who don't fit into either category and are just really interesting about this stuff.
This year, voters around the world have the ability to affect markets, countries, and economies like never before. Let voter nomics help you make sense of it all, So be sure to look out for our first episode this Friday, April twenty sixth, and listen in every week after
