Summary

  • June 30 marks the debut of “Money Moves With Jill Schlesinger,” a new CBS News podcast that will release episodes every Tuesday and Thursday and feature direct answers to listener questions.
  • CBS News is using the show to build talent-driven franchises beyond its flagship TV programs, part of editor in chief Bari Weiss’s push to create programming tailored for YouTube, social media and other digital platforms.
  • Schlesinger, a CBS News business analyst since 2009 and former investment advisory chief, says the podcast will challenge “finfluencers” and older advice she sees as outdated for today’s financial landscape.
  • Mark Talercio will join as executive producer and co-planner, while Schlesinger continues hosting her separate “Jill on Money” podcast as traditional news outlets expand into more informal digital products.
