incredible podcast name, A+ work

pauljdavies.bsky.social•77 days ago

Is it a deliberate reference to Hacker T. Dog? Because that would be special!

zatapatique.bsky.social•77 days ago

100% what it is

zatapatique.bsky.social•77 days ago

me, seeing the UK importing SNL: "the special relationship was a mistake"

also me, seeing the US importing CBBC jokes: "the special relationship is good, actually"

Always worth a rewatch https://youtu.be/ULT4ZUmnH7g?feature=shared

I already indulged!

Listened, subscribed!

Worth mentioning n discussing the huge effort in onshoring that for a lot of stuff the tariffs, even if long term, won't be remotely close to enough. Like, Norway has 3-500% tariffs + heavy subsidies to protect agriculture. Taxing away comparative advantage is a fool's errand.

give me the elevator spiel George, what's it about?

aremay.bsky.social•77 days ago

I had a listen to this earlier, a good start, excited to see it progress - and to get it on Spotify, so you can all follow me to the allotment.

peark.es•77 days ago

we will absolutely get on spotify!

aremay.bsky.social•77 days ago

I saw the pending link, I am a patient rabbit. It's just very cool to me that a bunch of the best lads on here are teaming up like this.

I have a distinct fear of hearing what people I follow here sound like.

Good luck with your podcast, you report good info here. Just disappointed that there is another blog by all male economists. This is just another thing for women economists to throw on the huge pile of "why did I do this with my life."

peark.es•76 days ago

Tbf nobody else in the podcast is an economist (and I don’t actually claim that title). So I don’t think it’s a comment on economists.

If you have any interest in setting up a podcast I would be more than happy to help you with the technical side! It’s very easy. Please let me know if I can.

econcat.bsky.social•76 days ago

Thanks for that. I use the term "economist" broadly to avoid the more ubiquitous "finance bros." I have been in this field for almost thirty years and am beyond tired of the gender dynamics in the economics and the economics-adjacent community. Not much hope for the younger women in this field.

peark.es•76 days ago

Okay well again, I am the only finance bro in this project.

I hear you that we have a deficit of women’s’ voices in fin/econ, would love to boost similar projects from women.

econcat.bsky.social•76 days ago

That´s good. I got into this field back in the 90s, in large part, to leave something better behind for the women to follow. My generation has failed miserably in that. I hope for better for the women who follow and that they will be heard at some point. Good luck with your project.

Looking forward to your ad reads!

shadow.hedgie.social•77 days ago

Although man I wish your voices were easier to distinguish, it's kind of hard to follow who's speaking at times. Not much you can do about that I suppose

tznkai.bsky.social•76 days ago

Okay so I'm not the only one

tznkai.bsky.social•76 days ago

It's getting a little better as we go but not only are people sounding similar with respect to vocal quality but what you might call vocal personality. Inflections, volume, speed. There's a flattening that's happening. You can tell everyone is conscious of the mic.

shadow.hedgie.social•76 days ago

begging the Men to be less Normal

coconnor8.bsky.social•77 days ago
