Key Facts
Reviews
- Unfortunately unplayable
As a recent fan of Econ Talk I searched through the iTunes podcast app to find more episodes. For some reason, none of the episodes in this compilation are playable. “Not available at this time” will flash across the screen after attempting to download or play an episode. A real shame as the bottom 2 episodes featuring Milton Friedman seem incredible enticing. Hopefully this review inspires some action to fix whatever the issue may be.

Like talking with old friends. LIvely discussions and I always learn something; most importantly how to think and looking deeply into a topic without being the expectation of a biased outcome.

Presented in everyday conversation, Roberts is mindful that his listeners are not academics but still intelligent enough and interested enough think critically about the materials that he and his guest are discussing. My favorite line from him is the reminder that he (and others) are subject to "confirmation bias". Thank you, Russ, for your continuing presentations. They are most worthwhile, which serves to confirm my own bias!
