Don’t bother. I heard knee-jerk right-wing rhetoric, without serious analysis or solutions to real problems. Two stars for the little bit of information mixed in with the wingy buzzwords.
I listen to Mr. Pino on The Editors podcast, and even though I suspect he’s one of the youngest contributors, he’s definitely the brightest and has the most convincing arguments. Probably because he comes to each episode he’s on with a ton of facts. (I think the young people say “receipts”).
I wish I’d realized he had his own podcast earlier and hope he has them more often.
Very interesting and educational. I plan to listen to more from Dominic Pino! Thank you.
Fascinating discussion on BLS union-membership data. Thank you!
Dominic (you old soul), thank you so much for helping me better
understand the markets and —— how things work!

A plain-spoken economics and policy show that translates scholarly ideas into accessible conversations for a broad, engaged audience. Topics span AI and its impact on work and education, macro policy, energy markets, taxation, money and central banking, and structural issues like housing, debt, and fertility. Episodes mix practical examples with historical and philosophical context, aiming to illuminate how policy choices shape everyday life. A notable strength is bringing academic concepts to life through clear explanations, pragmatic case studies, and a willingness to challenge conventional wisdom, making complex ideas approachable for non-experts while still offering depth for informed listeners.
