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.

Anthony and James examine a new report about how the buy side is lagging behind when it comes to blockchain development, and how K-12 education is lagging when it comes to teaching coding.

2:30 A new report takes a deep-dive examination of distributed-ledger technology (DLT) development on the buy side.

5:00 Hasn’t the sell side always taken the reins when it comes to new, industry-wide technologies? For example: cloud. Why should the buy side be proactive when it comes to DLT?

12:00 What should be the way forward for buy-side firms as they start to get into the business of blockchain?

13:30 Schools in America are failing at teaching kids how to code early in their educational development. Why is that a problem?

25:30 The problem with movie critics.
