    Emily’s bizarrely defensive and stubborn position was so upsetting that I had to comment. It actually reeks of her own myriad levels of privilege and shows an incredible lack of self awareness. Please go somewhere and broaden your mind.

  • Felix is an arrogant know-it-all

    Felix is an arrogant know-it-all. He’s pompous and so much of what he says is nonsense, and he’s also a mansplainer, which makes him doubly offensive.

  • The one star is for Felix

    I’ve been an avid fan of the show for years, but lately I find myself struggling to listen. I’ve always been charmed by the rarified air that Felix lives in, but his bullying treatment of Elizabeth makes him intolerable.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Money Talks: The Paradoxes of Patagonia
Q: What do you think is going to be the sort of incentive structure in the executive suite at Patagonia after Yvon Chouinard?
Current executives at Patagonia are motivated by a mission-driven ethos, focused on environmental causes rather than traditional profit growth, which reflects Chouinard's legacy.
Money Talks: Fixing A Broken Monetary System
Q: To what extent does the public need to be educated about this in order to drive policy changes?
The general public needs to understand that the Fed is not paying attention to the changes in the money supply and recognize its importance.
Money Talks: Fixing A Broken Monetary System
Q: What policy changes would you recommend that would facilitate that 6% a year?
We outline a new operating model for the Fed that focuses on regulation rather than interest rate adjustments to ensure consistent money supply growth.
Money Talks: Money is One Hell of A Drug
Q: To what degree is it necessary in this genre to scorn wealth and kind of show the dirty underside of it and make it seem a little bit seedy and nasty?
Frey indicates that while not all wealthy individuals are terrible, some are, and the necessity of conflict in storytelling often requires a critical look at wealth.
Let’s TACO ‘Bout It
Q: Is it really a reading crisis, where young people don't read books anymore?
No, book sales are up and there's a moral panic about reading habits that does not reflect the reality that younger generations do read, albeit in different formats like audiobooks.
