Prof G Markets has jumped from 149th to 68th on Apple's podcast chart in the United States, with Scott Galloway and Ed Elson tackling a question that reaches beyond trading screens: what happens when voters push back against the infrastructure behind the AI boom?
The daily markets show, part of the Vox Media Podcast Network, covers earnings, technology and geopolitics. Its latest episode puts the midterm results at the center of that mix, following an initial stock-market rally into a sharp tech sell-off.
Galloway's explanation starts with certainty rather than party loyalty. "The markets like knowing who they're waking up next to, even if you don't agree with their politics," he says. Elson then separates companies concentrated in data centers from diversified technology giants such as Microsoft, describing how their fortunes diverged before the broader reversal.
The discussion gets particularly concrete when it leaves Wall Street for local ballots. The hosts describe voters rejecting data-center initiatives, and Galloway treats the facilities as a focus for wider anger about inequality. He also jokes about OpenAI calling them "compute campuses," questioning whether different language can soften objections over resource use.
That thread runs through the show's post-election episodes. Anthony Scaramucci joins Elson to consider whether Trump will change course; Catherine Rampell discusses the congressional result, with Alex Bores addressing the data-center backlash. Elson's shorter Simply Put installment examines why easy money in the AI trade may be running out.
Back in the latest conversation, Galloway argues Democrats need a practical growth agenda. Elson presses the case for corporate accountability and economic fairness, giving the market recap a second question: who should benefit from the growth?
