What We Know: Money Moves with Jill Schlesinger will debut on Tuesday, June 30th. The new podcast will release episodes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. According to CBS News, the show “breaks down complex financial topics in a clear, practical way.” Schelsinger is no stranger to CBS News. She’s served as a business analyst for the network. She has also hosted Jill on Money and the MoneyWatch podcasts in the past.
What They Said: “No jargon, no judgment, just actionable financial advice … Your life is changing. Your money changes. And your needs change. We want to be here for everybody who’s watching and listening to this show.” -Jill Schlesinger
What Remains Unclear: What motivated the network to launch a new podcast. It is also unknown if her other podcast ventures will end now that she’s hosting this specific show for the network.
What It Means: Under the direction of Bari Weiss, CBS News has wanted to increase its digital content offerings. This podcast allows the network to do just that. It is also a more practical podcast approach than another news or interview series that have been popular in so many organizations.
