The inside story of the deals that changed the world, as told by the people who know how it all went down. The Closer, out now.

Landmark deals can change everything. They can transform how we live. They can alter the course of the economy. The Closer asks: Who made these deals, and why?

Hosted by Aimee Keane, an award-winning financial journalist, each episode features a deal that made an impact on our lives, and hears from the people who know the inside story of those deals.

This show has a thesis: deals are not only the emotional center of the business world, but the building blocks of the world around us. Behind every one of them are tales of failure, betrayal, high stakes, risks - and especially, big personalities. Basically, everything you’d want in a good drama.
