Kate, welcome to this episode of the Australian Finance Podcast.

Good to be back, Owen.

We have a very special guest with us today, Pat Wright from the ABC.

Pat, how are you doing?

Really good.

How are you guys going?

Very good, mate.

Very good.

Yeah, we're stoked to have you in recording with us.

We're here in Melbourne at our usual haunt, which is Flinders Lane.

Mm-hmm.

And today we're talking about deciphering the financial news and who better to be our field guide than yourself.

We've got a heap of questions here about how we can make better decisions in terms of getting information into our consciousness, how we make decisions based on that information, how we verify it, etc.,

Let's start with a bit about you.

Tell us a bit about yourself, what you do day to day and why you do it.

How many days of the week would you say are spent on finance or money-related topics versus everything else?

I think when it comes to important things like national security, even health and well-being, which obviously you do a lot of, and then things like political news, I just almost always default to ABC over any other outlet.

I've got to be honest.

I'm not just talking your book here.
