The New Yorker Radio Hour · Failed “Finance Bros” Find Success with HBO’s “Industry” · 1 Mar 2026 podcast

You want to go to a job that gives you a prestigious sounding title.

And that's kind of what we were like.

Before we could formulate our own identities, we allowed the institution to make them for us.

And that's...

You know, I look back on that person, I kind of cringe because I was just such a sort of weird and it's kind of juvenile approach to identity and life and money and my job.

But I still have some of that in me.

I still feel like I want to make money.

I still feel like I want to be successful.

I do have this sort of attitude, which is like,

I'm never content with my career.

The reason our show feels like it's constantly, you know, changing and vibrating with electricity is because me and Conrad are in terms of our careers.

And, you know, we want to be successful.

We were finance bros in the first instance.

Oh, I want to work with Conrad forever.

I mean, it's very difficult to find someone you don't want to tear apart having spent every day with them.

I mean, obviously there are moments, there are very few moments of tension between us.

What's the biggest fight you've ever had?

No, I think maybe when we were writing season one and I went to a stag do and came back really hung over and didn't want to work.

Yeah.
