I play this podcast throughout the week as my students enter our classroom. They love Alex and Tyler from the MRU videos!!!
I quickly found this became my new favorite podcast. I am a budding wannabe econ nerd and I don’t quite have the time and wherewithal to dedicate sufficient time to doing the full marginal university coursework. so this is a perfect way to get my fix of Tyler and Alex ins. format less formal than MU but longer form than MR and going deep but digestible on a given topic. It’s fantastic.
my only complaint is that 2025 is 2 months in with no new episode!
Enjoying this podcast. However, for the listener with a casual interest in economics, more explanation is needed. For example, the hosts use terms like M2 and M3. I don’t know what those are, and they start to lose me.

I’m glad Apple Podcasts recommended I listen to this, because I didn’t know this existed. I should probably read MR more often? I hope it gets enough attention so that Alex and Tyler continue to do the podcast.
