The Bond Buyer Podcast The Bond Buyer

Barclays' Mikhail Foux talks shifting demand, BABs refundings, election effects and more.

John Hallacy of John Hallacy Consulting and Rich Ciccarone, president emeritus of Merritt Research Services, talk with Chip Barnett about the municipal bond business over the past 40 years. They take a look back at where the industry has been, where it is and where it will be going.

In the celebration of Women's History Month, The Bond Buyer invited one of the icons of public finance, Suzanne Shank, to talk about the importance of women in the municipal bond business. She reveals what led her into the municipal bond business and discusses her firm's continuing commitment to munis and strategy for growth. 

Investor demands and lower account minimums have grown separately managed accounts across fixed-income markets, particularly in munis. Russell Feldman, CEO and co-founder of IMTC, discusses this evolution and how technology has contributed to changing market dynamics.

Though it will still feature in-depth, insightful conversations between our reporters and editors and thought leaders from all corners of municipal finance, our long-running podcast will reboot with a format change. Bond Buyer Editor in Chief Mike Scarchilli explains and previews the changes on the horizon.

Robert Poole, a leading expert in the U.S. public-private partnership transportation sector, joins infrastructure reporter Caitlin Devitt to talk about upcoming deals including toll lanes and bridges in the Southeast and high speed rail in the West as well as states that are advancing P3s and action on the federal front.
