  • What happened at George Mason?

    This used to be an OUTSTANDING podcast, but it seems that Peter Boettke has stepped away from content selection and it is very suddenly a podcast about how to make postmodern ideas and LGBTQ activism seem like they are related to Austrian economics. I’m very concerned about the path GMU leadership seems to be on…

  • Stop saying “um” that many times (please) If you want listeners

    Show hosts should have public speaking skills If they want their shows to get good ratings. Listening to the July episodes 2019 as my introduction to this podcast, I have not heard anyone say “um” that many times in less than a minute. It’s pretty distracting and I turn the show off. The show does not come across confident about its own message.
