  • Great podcast, stop with the AI art please

    Really well produced and run podcast about financial history. Can tell the co-hosts really dive deep into the research material and also have good chemistry with each other. But man the AI generated cover art for each episode really bothers me. It looks so cheesy and cheapens the feel of this podcast.

  • If you love the intersection of history and investments, this is the podcast for you.

    Matt and Dan are terrific storytellers, and they bring economic history to life. It’s amazing how much history rhymes. Their stories from the 1700s to today have immediate residence with today’s markets and economies. In my view, it’s a musk listen for people who like to take broader views on market.
