#KatieTalks with Richard Yetsenga, Chief Economist and Head of Research at ANZ Bank

My guest today is Richard Yetsenga Chief Economist and Head of Research at ANZ Bank.  This was always going to be interesting, throw into the mix a slightly tumultuous global pandemic and voila you have a great conversation. We discuss Richard’s approach* to using Twitter in terms of the way that he publishes and influences dialogue. It was also interesting to hear that Twitter has been a key source of information for him as Covid19 evolves at a rapid pace. Central to this discussion is the importance of trustworthy content and we talk in detail about this critical issue.  The ability to stay informed about news across the globe is vital for Richard and it’s always interesting to hear how influential time poor people do this. We discuss ‘reading aggressively’ and his go to publications. We also talk about the fact the Alanis Morissette has a lot to answer following a study that Richard describes which charts song lyrics from the 1990s to now show a steady move from focus on love to more around hate. Isn’t it ironic?!  Katie Talks is hosted by Katie Bennett-Stenton, who you can find at @KatiebMarketing on Twitter or [email protected]. *You can follow Richard at @ricyet.   Disclaimer this podcast is a personal project, not associated with my professional role.
