Podcast Recommendations - 30/07/23

My favourite podcasts this week.

Economics of Everyday Things - #11: Cashmere

Mongolia is the world's primary cashmere producer, and farmers can expect to receive $10 per goat. A sweater typically takes 6 to 7 goats' worth of material.

Philosophise This! - #183: Is ChatGPT really intelligent?

I'm happy to ignore Steven's love of Chomsky and praise this exploration of the nature of intelligence.

Planet Money - Econ Paper Club

They were with a gender theme, and each study was interesting. This episode perfectly exemplified how leftists try to see injustice in everything.

The Reason Interview - Matt Ridley: Why Did Anthony Fauci et al. Suppress the Lab Leak Theory?

Matt always makes a persuasive case for the lab leak theory.

Conversations with Tyler - Noam Dworman: Stand-Up Comedy and Staying Open-Minded

Noam was fascinating when talking about comedy, culture, and his 9/11 story was embarrassing.

The Brendan O'Neill Show - #240: Wilfred Reilly | The lies of the Black Lives Matter movement

Wilfred is pretty fair-minded, and I like his general focus.
