    Betting on Sunday’s Game? Here’s Who You’re Up Against

    When the Seattle Seahawks take on the New England Patriots on Sunday, more than $2.6 billion in wagers will be on the line.

On today’s Big Take podcast, professional sports gambler Rufus Peabody discusses why he has shifted more of his betting to prediction markets. And markets reporter Justina Lee  and sports business reporter Ira Boudway sit down with host David Gura to discuss why these markets are drawing pros like Peabody — and the concerns the platforms raise for regulators and traditional sportsbooks.

    Generic Versions of Weight Loss Drugs Will Upend the Market

    Shares of Novo Nordisk were down Thursday morning after Hims & Hers introduced a compounded version of its Wegovy pill. The dip came two days after Novo predicted its sales could drop as much as 13% this year as the company factors in competition from generic drugs that could crop up as its patents expire around the world. On today’s Big Take podcast, Bloomberg reporters Naomi Kresge and Amber Tong talk to host David Gura about the year ahead for weight-loss drugs, from compounded products cutting into leading companies’ market share to generics that could upend the market globally.

    Weekend Listen: Why the Tech World Is Going Crazy for Claude Code

    In the AI industry, there's always a hot new thing. First it was ChatGPT. Then it was the image generators. There was the DeepSeek moment. In the latter half of last year, everyone was excited about how good Google's Gemini was. In January 2026, the new hot thing everyone is talking about is Claude Code. But of course, the AI models have been able to generate lines of code for a long time now. So what is it about Claude Code that has people so excited? Why is it that people are asking: "Is this AGI?" On this episode of Bloomberg's Odd Lots, hosts Joe Weisenthal and Tracy Alloway speak with Noah Brier, the co-founder of Alpehic, a consultancy firm that helps large organizations implement AI technology. Noah has been using the Large Language Models for longer than just about anyone, since even before ChatGPT existed. He explains the evolution of AI-assisted coding, what Claude Code actually is, and why it is that traditional software firms have been getting destroyed in the stock market lately.

    How Kevin Warsh Could Shape the Fed

    After months of speculation and a publicized selection process befitting The Apprentice, President Trump has announced his pick to lead the Federal Reserve: former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh.

On today’s Big Take podcast, host Sarah Holder sits down with Bloomberg Fed reporters Amara Omeokwe and Saleha Mohsin to discuss Warsh’s nomination, the early reactions we’ve seen from Wall Street and Washington, and what his past record and recent evolution signal about how he may handle interest rates and an ongoing battle over Fed independence. Hosted by Sarah Holder; Produced by David Fox; Reported by Amara Omeokwe, Saleha Mohsin; Edited by Naomi Shavin. Fact-checking by Eleanor Harrison-Dengate, Julia Press; Engineering by Alex Sugiura.
