Anthony Scaramucci in conversation with Alastair Campbell

A Special Relationship

Hay Festival 2025, 

The American financier and former White House Communications Director shares a candid look at the wheels of power in the US. As a front seat commentator on the US/UK relationship, The Rest is Politics US podcast co-host takes a view of its twists, turns and possible futures, with political strategist and The Rest is Politics UK co-host Alastair Campbell.

Anthony Scaramucci is founder and managing partner of SkyBridge, a global alternative investment firm, and founder and chairman of SALT, a global thought leadership forum and venture studio. He also co-hosts the Open Book podcast, and is author of several books, most recently The Little Book of Bitcoin.

The global finance and Crypto entrepreneur was in the first generation of his Italian-American family to attend college, and his ascent in the financial industry and the world of politics has been both remarkable and hard-won. Scaramucci served briefly in President Trump’s White House team in 2016, before some strongly worded comments on members of the administration saw him leave after an 11-day tenure.
