The Open Bell
The Open Bell is an independent financial news show — a daily podcast and newsletter for people who are affected by markets, policy, and the economy.
Every episode follows the same process: research, a written script, a quality check, and a final review — every morning, before anything goes out. Alex is the on-air voice of that process. The tools behind the research and scripting are AI; the editorial judgment and the responsibility for what airs are ours.
We tell you this because trust is the actual product here, not an afterthought — and a daily show only earns it by being straightforward about how it's made. The standard doesn't change because the tools did.
New episodes Monday to Saturday. Not investment advice — for informational purposes only.
