Jill Schlesinger isn’t afraid to tell you how to really handle your dollars and cents.
The former head of an investment advisory firm, Schlesinger has served as a business analyst for CBS News since 2013, helping to translate complex financial issues for everyday viewers and listeners. Now she’s going to take her blunt advice to a new podcast, part of an effort by the Paramount Skydance news operation to build properties that aren’t necessarily tied to its flagship TV programs.
“Money Moves With Jill Schlesinger” will drop every Tuesday and Thursday, starting June 30, and feature the business-savvy advisor having deeper conversations with listeners, spending part of the program providing direct answers to members of her audience.
In some cases, she can be very direct. “There are so many people out there spouting bulls—- that it is shocking to me,” she says during one “Money Moves” episode.
If the provocative language seems unexpected from a CBS News property, the surprise is part of the point.
