I give up.
It’s Wharton! I figured they be great. So after several disappointments, I gave them one more shot. The topic was great, consumer behavior. I listened to Faber, Bernstein and Santiago (going by memory so apologies if I got it wrong).
I defy any senior business person to get any useful takeaways from this. Fabers recommendations could be summed up as buy my book and everyone doing retail (vs. I who just study and consult on it) is a moron. This is so consulting from the 90s. Bernst... more
Sometimes very good; sometimes meh. Working from home was filled with the obvious and lots of opinion but little research mentioned. Diversity training was excellent with good descriptions of experiments, generative AI was lots of general arm waving (this is what I think and I don’t need to support it) and it was all obvious.
Given it’s Wharton, where’s the data?!! I may drop it soon; we’ll see. And btw, no one cares about why a prof got into his or her area of research. Ok, that was a cheap s... more
I’ve listened to only 3 so far. Good insight, well produced, interesting topics (I looked over others).
However could use more depth in some areas. For example, in the episode on the debt, the speaker mentioned taxing just people asking over 400K, was not enough. Well, what does that mean? It’s not enough to solve the problem, but does it make a dent? How bout if it’s part of cuts?
It could turn out to be another NPR biased broadcast, but I’ll listen to more. The psychology safety one was f... more
This is an insightful podcast. The issues are important, relevant and scholarship is discussed in ways that are accessible.
Love the first month’s focus on women & work

A thoughtful, research-driven show that brings Wharton scholars to the mic to translate academic findings into practical business and policy insights. Episodes span leadership transitions, AI's impact on work and decision-making, financial literacy, ESG ethics, marketing strategy, and the economics of housing, taxes, and consumer behavior. Listeners can expect data-backed analysis, real-world examples, and nuanced debates about how research translates into leadership, strategy, and public policy. A notable strength is the consistent emphasis on rigor and applicability, often featuring multiple professors or researchers who bridge theory and practice across business, technology, and society.
