  • I love the variety of topics and people

    I’ve been listening to this show for a long time and it continues to make the cut in my weekly rotation. Why? Because it covers so many topics. There’s an interesting mix of people in the news and unexpected/unknown (to me) people doing fascinating work.

  • Worst interviewer

    You need to have someone knowledgeable or can at least listen to do this interview. Interviewer is so self involved an important opportunity was lost. The issues the author writes about are pervasive and damaging to our world and the interviewer was truly clueless to this. Listen to Kirista Tippet’s interview if you are interested in Van der Kolk’s work.

Cutting Through the Noise to Find Today’s Economic Signals
Q: Are GDP, CPI, and unemployment still the best indicators for understanding well‑being, or do we need new metrics?
They are still the best, but not perfect; the data have become noisier, and adding sentiment can sometimes degrade forecasts, so it's about using a portfolio of indicators rather than relying on one measure.
Can Humility Be Taught? NBA Coach Steve Kerr on Staying Grounded Amidst Success

Can Humility Be Taught? NBA Coach Steve Kerr on Staying Grounded Amidst Success
Q: Do you look for humility when you're picking players? And can humility be taught?
