Bloomberg Podcasts found its most-watched new upload of the week in a familiar investing question: what should Berkshire Hathaway do with all that cash?

On Bloomberg This Weekend, analyst Matthew Palazola joins David Gura and Christina Ruffini to unpack a record $9.6 billion share buyback. He calls it "a nice vote of confidence," but the conversation is about more than buying Berkshire's own stock. Acquisitions and equity investments also feature in his account of how Greg Abel is deploying capital.

The useful contrast comes from insurance. Underwriting earnings have fallen from unusually strong levels, even as Berkshire puts money to work elsewhere. Palazola also discusses investments in Alphabet and the Italian software company Bending Spoons. It gives the segment something more concrete than a simple verdict on the quarterly results: several different ways to judge the company's direction under Abel.

The interview reached roughly 22,000 views in its first fourteen hours and carries the strongest daily momentum among the channel's uploads. Two other fresh Bloomberg This Weekend discussions follow it: Chris Kennedy on congressional constraints on Trump's foreign policy, and Joe Mathieu on Stephen Miller's elevation and Democratic oversight.

Across the channel, subscribers grew over the week, while daily views are running modestly above their usual level. Among nearby business channels, Chris Kohler had a particularly large week; Rachel Cruze's daily viewing is also above her norm. Bloomberg Podcasts' own mix stretches beyond Washington and markets, with travel journalist Brittany Chang explaining why younger vacationers are warming to cruises.
