Business Insider Co-Founder and former CEO Henry Blodget Launches New Podcast in Partnership with Vox Media

Today, Vox Media announced a new podcast in partnership with acclaimed journalist and Business Insider co-founder Henry Blodget. Each week on Solutions with Henry Blodget, he and his guests will tackle some of the most pressing challenges of modern life – from AI risk and climate change to burnout and the loneliness epidemic – with an emphasis on practical, achievable solutions. Vox Media will lead sales, marketing, and distribution for the show, which launches on August 18th.

“We’re in a moment where every day, it feels like we’re facing a deluge of insurmountable challenges. What often gets lost in the conversation is just how many smart, enterprising people there are out there working to solve every one of them,” says Blodget. “With Solutions, I hope to bring audiences a show that centers some of these experts and offers a thoughtful and pragmatic path forward. And it’s been a thrill working with Vox Media’s amazing podcast team to get this off the ground.”

Blodget brings a rare blend of journalistic rigor and business savvy to the podcast space. He is the founder and editor of Regenerator, a publication focused on building a better future, and the co-founder and former CEO and editor-in-chief of Business Insider, which under his leadership grew into one of the most influential news organizations in the world and was acquired by Axel Springer. He is also a former top-ranked Wall Street analyst, frequent media commentator, and the author of The Wall Street Self-Defense Manual: A Consumer’s Guide to Intelligent Investing. He will soon publish his first novel.

“Vox Media has the leading slate of shows covering business, tech, leadership, and current affairs.,” says Ray Chao, Vox Media’s SVP & general manager of audio and video. “We’re excited for Henry to bring his unparalleled experience and unique perspective as a top analyst, journalist, and entrepreneur to the podcast space.”
