Brilliant episode! Fascinating overview of the history of tariffs. Totally cool, even if the hosts' students think it's not "high-minded" 😂 Seriously considering subscribing to PPF+

Go on Igor, you won't regret it!

igorjagec.com•34 days ago

I'm sure I won't :) Loved Talking Politics and now I'm a big fan of PPF, so I've every confidence this will be brilliant too!

ppfideas.bsky.social•34 days ago

Thanks Igor, that's a joy to hear!

Delighted to hear you enjoyed it! Do subscribe - David is excellent!

David is brilliant! Been a loyal listener since the Talking Politics days. I remember being a bit worried the new podcast wouldn't quite hit the same mark without Helen, but brilliant guests like you, Robert, were his secret sauce to success! :)

I do miss Talking Politics tho. Was the best political pod by an absolute mile

igorjagec.com•33 days ago

Agreed! Talking Politics was miles ahead. It was a key resource for understanding British culture when I moved here from Croatia – all the things you aren't prepared for as a migrant. I reckon David doesn't get much of this feedback :)

Passing it along now!

That's very kind - thank you!

Excellent episode. I'd urge seeing 2025 in a 40 year context. Free trade neo-liberalism has been the 'religion' of U.S. centrists, left & right, since 1990. Trump shocked the GOP in 2016 (as Sanders did Dems) & (China policy aside) Big Biz Reagan Republicans (and Dems) are more cowed than converted.

Extremely interesting episode! A True Trump ‘avant la lettre’. Thank you

Terrif episode, very illuminating, or as we say here in California, Ohtani-grade performances

Thanks Kent!

Another superb episode, full of contemporary resonance. @robertsaunders.bsky.social fluent, erudite concision, without a single er or um, is a thing of wonder. Look forward to Gary Gerstle next week.

Thanks Nigel!

Thank you so much! That's really kind. I'm really pleased you enjoyed it.
