Do you know of any good podcasts? Here are some economic podcast sites I’d recommend.
Radio Economics, a blog by Dr. James Reese an economics professor at the University of South Carolina. He interviews various economic bloggers. Interviews include nobel laureate Gary Becker and Richard Posner, of the Becker-Posner blog. There is also a recent one regarding “The Economics of Wal-Mart” with professor of economics Dr. Russell Roberts, made especially for you Wal-Mart haters out there.
Foundations For Economic Education, click on “Events”, and it will take you to various different podcasts. Some important ones include, “Human Betterment through Globalization” by nobel laureate Dr. Vernon Smith.
Ludwig Von Mises Study Guide, definitely the widest ranging and largest collection I have ever seen. They have almost any topic you could think of, and for those of you really new to economics, I would recommend their, Home Study Course here.
Enjoy!!!
Hey Alfonso:
You need to talk about Libby and Meirs and their failures … You have to be honest about it and bring it out in your Blog. This way, we can all learn something.
Take Care - Hal
I’ll post something tomorrow…as a general rule though, I try to stay away from identity politics.
Some people think that identity politics are fun.

I’ve searched through those websites and none of them have podcasts relating to economics.
Sorry, I thought maybe you were wanting to, you know, learn about something new. But I forgot, learning about new things doesn’t help you win dualistic debates. Which is the only reason to read anything anyway.
Good economics podcasts:
http://financialsense.com/ (Financial Sense newshour including an archive of interviews with experts on energy economics, the dollar & inflation, etc., about 50% is bearish investment stuff, 50% actual economics)
http://radioeconomics.com/
marketplace on NPR.org is OK but not great
via audible there are a few great audiobooks too: look at titles like Milton Friedman’s Money Mischief, Jim Roger’s Adventure Capitalist, Adventures of an Economic Hitman, some Soros titels, a few unabridged audiobooks on the history of economics, and they even have an audiobook of Smith’s Wealth of Nations (its 35 hours though).
Wow, great stuff, thanks Doug!!!
