We’re shaking things up today and sharing a preview from Hot Money, a new podcast from our friends at Pushkin Industries and the Financial Times. When Financial Times reporter Patricia Nilsson started digging into the porn industry, she made a shocking discovery: Nobody knew who controlled the biggest porn company in the world. Now, Nilsson and her editor, Alex Barker, have figured out who the guy was, and much more. Their reporting reveals

In the preview you’re about to hear, you’ll meet Stoya, a porn star who sends Alex and Patricia on a quest: Find out who is in charge, and get to the bottom of how the business of porn really works.
