  • Great host and in-depth econ conversations. Would recommend.

    A couple of episodes have spent time talking through graphs or other images, which I'm sure looks great on video, but is tough for audio listeners.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

9: Appeasing Trump Will NEVER Work! (w/ Chrystia Freeland & Andrew Egger)
Q: What do you think is the right role for America's allies, given this turn of events, given Trump's openly siding with Russia over Ukraine?
Freeland supports condemning the U.S. action, standing with Ukraine, retaliating against tariffs dollar for dollar, and building an international coalition while maintaining outreach to Americans who want to renew the Western alliance.
9: Appeasing Trump Will NEVER Work! (w/ Chrystia Freeland & Andrew Egger)
Q: How are the oligarchs you met and interviewed early in your journalism career in Russia similar to or different from the people we call oligarchs here in the United States?
Freeland says Russia's oligarchs helped undermine democracy by capturing the state, and argues that democratic governments must constrain business power through antitrust enforcement, taxation, anti-corruption measures, and worker protections.
11: Kara Swisher Warns Elon Musk: A Reckoning Is Coming
Q: What does he have to gain by keeping one party in power in the Senate?
Swisher says Musk wants to prevent Congress from restarting investigations into his companies and believes retaining political power is essential to protecting his interests.
11: Kara Swisher Warns Elon Musk: A Reckoning Is Coming
Q: Why do you think all of these folks in Silicon Valley and elsewhere are willing to take your calls and take your texts, even though you've written critical things?
Swisher says executives value her knowledge and perspective, and that people who understand journalism will talk with a reporter who knows the industry and speaks candidly.
