Podcast-wise, I am in my 2016 mood. There were five prospects for 2024. I became a regular listener of exactly zero. The true regulars continue to be ATP, EconTalk, Conversations with Tyler, The Talk Show and Dithering, but even there I skip through more episodes than I complete.
Still, moods shift and if I listen to more of anything next year it may be one or more of these:
- The VPZD Show, which is back, intermittently, with more cursing than ever, but also some interesting viewpoints that differ enough from my own to make things interesting.
- The Marginal Revolution Podcast with Tyler Cowen and Alex Tabarrok. Kyla Scanlon would have been a better co-host to either, but this will have to do.
- Plain English with Derek Thompson is very much outside of my preferred format, being over-produced and a bit too highfalutin’ with its choice of guests, but some of those guests do seem interesting so it may become one of those skip-more-than-I-listen-to shows.
And here are years past: 2023 — 2022 — 2021 — 2020 — 2019 — 2018 — The one where I took a break from podcasts — The very first one
