    Wow, so fun and enlightening!!!
    How did I not know about this before? So many interesting guests. Well-conducted interviews in which host asks exactly the questions I had I am enjoying going through ok’d episodes. Understand the host is busy with a new baby but hope he finds time again to do this!

    Mixed bag
    This can be very good with the right guest, but on occasion I really miss a robust discussion. An example of both sides: the interview with Robert Frank was terrific, with Frank expounding upon his ideas very concretely. The episode on Market Urbanism took half an hour to even start to get concrete, before that it was unclear what was being discussed and no challenges were mentioned: two guys who agreed basically agreed unspecifically for 30 minutes. I had and still have no strong view on the actual topic of urban housing policy, but felt I listened to a paid ad from private developers. They may have had compelling points eventually, but after 30 minutes of little substance I checked out. So... dip in occasionally, but probably not a “go to” podcast on a regular basis.

    In this time of extreme danger to democracy this podcast will lead you astray.

    The best economics podcast on iTunes
    This best source of economic science and information, not because I love the hosts voice but because it’s zero bias

    Good ideas, weak execution
    This could be a good podcast if they would script it to tell a better story and leave out lots of irrelevant and repetitive content.

    If you’re reading economics podcast reviews, this is probably for you.
    Wide ranging, nuanced and interesting interviews. Must have for an Econ podcast library. If Econtalk doesn’t put out enough material for you, this is a great addition.

    Very interesting
    Economics is a subject that I really need to get more educated on. I especially enjoy the talk on the history of economics and how it relates to current scenarios.

    Enjoyable and Deeply Informative
    While longer than most new podcasts I listen to, the episode discussing Petroleum divestment allowed the professor to illustrate some of the hypocrisy in Universities being pushed by activists pushing only a few ways of divesting from oil, while still taking advantage of the benefits. I would have liked the interview to be broke up a bit more, to hear more from the podcast and their views.
