My Take
Richard Quest is one of the few broadcasters whose voice alone tells you who is talking. The Liverpool-born former barrister turned CNN business anchor takes dry economic news and makes it oddly thrilling, all gravelly delivery and irrepressible energy. What I admire most is the human warmth he smuggles into a genre that usually drowns in charts and jargon, whether covering markets or globe-trotting on his travel shows. The pivot from law to journalism gives him a precision underneath the showmanship. He does not merely read the news; he performs it with conviction, and that is increasingly rare.
