Why Deep Regime Trends?
Markets move on details that never make the headline — a footnote in a filing, a call nobody returned, a number quietly revised. We go find that detail before it hardens into conventional wisdom.
One rule, on the page and on the mic: name who actually made the call, show the number that proves it, and leave out anything written for a press release.

Behind the mic
A decade on the trading floor. Now the one asking the questions.
The number is never the interesting part. The person who moved it is.
Before the microphone, there was a desk: ten years pricing risk at a macro fund, then five more explaining it to reporters who never asked the right follow-up. This show is the follow-up question, every week.
Guests are the people who actually signed the term sheet, drafted the rule, or sat across the table from the regulator — not the analysts quoting them secondhand.

New episodes land every Thursday at 6am ET — early enough to read before the opening bell, late enough that the week’s numbers are already final.

We only book people who were party to the decision — the analyst who wrote the note, the founder who signed the filing. Pitch us through the contact page with the story, not just a bio.
Every episode ships with a full transcript within a day of release, with sources linked inline so you can check our work.
Never. We explain what happened and who was behind it. What you do with that is on you.
