sober diagnosis and prognosis on the relationships between economics and ecology
The number of half finished podcasts I have is huge. Mostly because I always listen whilst doing other things but also because I lose interest or the pod runs out of steam! I have the attention span of a goldfish but Macrodose seems to grab my interest and hold it!
Firstly, thank you.
The weekly pod is direct, clear, to the point, relevant, and nicely short.
Great variety of contributors and content. But please cut down on the unnecessary intro music etc. Thanks for your hard work.

A rigorous economics show that blends policy analysis, climate, and social justice with accessible explanations. Episodes commonly feature discussions on macroeconomic policy, climate finance, and the political economy of inequality, often framed through skeptical takes on neoliberal narratives. There are frequent guest appearances by economists, historians, and activists who critique market-centric approaches and propose alternative, equity-focused frameworks. Noteworthy are concise, 15-minute roundups and a willingness to challenge mainstream economic orthodoxies, making it a compelling listen for professionals seeking clear, evidence-based discourse with a progressive tilt.
