I’m looking for podcast recommendations! Maybe something based on history, like Revolutions: open.spotify.com/show/05lvdf9T7… Or maybe something about economic policy? Like Americas Quarterly (open.spotify.com/show/5PCntXM9L ), but about the economy?

Following my theme of comparing academic and fictional writing, are there any similarities between economic papers and world building in fantasy? Are theory papers hard world building (LoTR)? Are empirical work more like soft world building (Narnia)? What about Econometrics?

One of my pastimes is to watch videos about writing fiction. Many things that work when writing fiction also work when writing academic papers! I think this video on editing is quite useful: youtu.be/WLAmilJx3Us?.... E.g., accept that your manuscript will evolve a lot over time!

Portuguese uses the same word for gym and academia. But what I discovered to love about going to the gym is the exact opposite of academic life. At the gym, reward is immediate. You finish your series and you are happy that you completed a task. But academic life is all about delayed gratification.
