Anthony Malakian, US editor of Waters, and James Rundle, news editor of Waters, record a weekly podcast touching on the biggest stories in financial technology.

On January 3, the revised Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (Mifid II) officially went live. Anthony and James take a look at some of the key challenges and concerns ahead. Then, for those interested in entering the inaugural Women in Data & Technology Awards, they provide something of a FAQ. Finally, Tony rants and raves about how people not shoveling their sidewalks is a sign of society’s decay.
