Podcast Recommendations - 16/07/23

My favourite podcasts this week.

The Reason Interview - Coleman Hughes and Walter Olson: The Supreme Court Got Its Affirmative Action and Gay Website Cases Right

What would it even look like to force somebody to make a website for your gay wedding?

Capitalism and Freedom in the Twenty-First Century - Tyler Cowen: Long-run Trends, Schools of Economic Thought, and Economics Education

The host would ask a question and spend twice as long re-asking it before letting Tyler answer. Tyler ends up seeming more libertarian when interviewed by others than in his writing or on his podcast.

The Economics of Everyday Things - #9: Bowling Alleys

It helps to be the last man standing - the classics endure.

EconTalk - Marc Andreessen: Why AI Will Save the World

I'm trying to savour this period where Marc is recording conversations with other intelligent people.

Conversations with Tyler - David Bentley Hart: Reason, Faith, and Diversity in Religious Thought

It's hard to recapture, but I briefly understood religiosity during this conversation. Tyler wisely moved past David's identification as a socialist.

Honestly - When Ideology Corrupts Medicine – and How One Reporter Exposed It

The UK's world-leading approach to sanely handling potentially gender-dysphoric children is a hollow victory considering the state of our economy. However, I'm glad for brave journalists like Hannah Barnes.

The Megyn Kelly Show - Grandpa Joe's Cruelty, Kamala's Nonsense, and the Cocaine at the White House

I don't know why he's refusing to acknowledge his grandchild, but Biden's behaviour seems cold-hearted from the outside.

People I (Mostly) Admire - Extra: An Update on the Khan World School

It's because it's Sal Khan and Steven Levitt reporting the statistics that I believe them.
