Amazing podcast
An incredibly entertaining way to learn new things about economics! Highly recommend especially the episode episodes with Peter Lorentzen. He’s really entertaining and I enjoy listening to him.

Used to be rigorous
This used to be more about presenting research and new theories, and more rigorous. Now you’re getting episodes from organizations with the word “freedom” in them and episodes were people share cool Milton Freedman stories. It feels almost like advertising money has come in and made editorial demands…

Interviewers are not skilled
Great book selections, great theme, should be a great podcast, but WOW all the hosts seem totally unprepared, have super vague questions (what did you think about that?) they ask each time, and they stumble through the interview like undergrads. Do your homework and read the book - ask questions that advance the conversation - speak up and don’t say “Uh.” This pod would be so much better if you followed this advice.

Too heavily politicised
I used to enjoy this podcast when it discussed a broad range of economic issues. The recent episodes, however, are becoming more obscure and radical. My guess is these episodes now have to lowest listening rates in the channel’s history. If these titles are the best works coming out of academia, no wonder people are switching off in droves.
