When I was first on Bloomberg and asked about Saudi Aramco, the person I followed was Ellen Wald. Over the past year, I’ve followed her articles in Forbes and most recently, I read her book “Saudi, Inc” (which is fantastic).

Today, she joins me on the podcast to talk Saudi, politics, Iran, oil, gas the world and elections. I don’t want to set expectations but I loved the episode and got a lot of value talking to Ellen.

I hope you do too.
