  • Awesome! Could it be longer?

    David brings brilliant insights to the economic side of politics and culture, and is very knowledgeable in the subject. My only complaint is the length. I feel like more could be included in a longer format, such as the weekly half hour episodes being a daily occurrence. Awesome show though, keep up the good work!

  • Spot on about US manufacturing job

    I have been listening to your podcast for a while, this is the first time I ever comment. Your most recent episode “The Complex Landscape of American Manufacturing: Jobs, Economy, and Policy” is spot on the issue, I couldn’t agree with you more. Thank you for your insights. I hope the people in Washington would listen to this episode, but even if they listen, they probably won’t do the right thing, it’s all about politics.

  • Intelligent but Biased

    David Bahsen has a conference worldview and view on economics. But in that he believes he is 100% correct and there is no room for other views, it is a detriment to both performance and conversation. He is so jaded against the current administration, constantly criticizing while by and large it fits his narrative, but he barely criticized the last one when it largely went against his narrative (only focusing on the fed).
