This podcast is usually very topical and extremely engaging for anyone interested in macroeconomics and public policy issues. It would be nice if there were the occasional deeper dives or explanations, theories, or applications discussed for the benefit of the non academics in the audience - but...Read full review »

Absolutely fascinating show. I learn something at each episode. Fantastic guests. Monetary policy and macroeconomics made most interesting!

Very neat Dr. Beckworth!

The podcast are made by very well informed host and guests. They go stage by stage and unpack the topic very nicely. Moreover, the text book approach to the topic is also questioned in the state of current of events.

Great interviews, David Beckworth is a pro, and you can really see he knows his stuff, yet ask questions that speak to an audience from Economists to business owners to investors and folks that want to be up on economic thinking. Be awesome to see an “after-show” recap of some really big ideas,...Read full review »

Really good guests and conversations that you don’t get to hear in many other places (perhaps even nowhere else).

Great show. I enjoy the host’s demeanor and the show’s topics. Sometimes I wish they explained the concepts more but I appreciate that it’s a show for experts.

I have just started to listen to the latest episode with the Economist magazine economics editor. Neutral, well informed, and also comprehensible to the non-monetary economist nerd. Nomi Prins said that in 19th century, there were well attended public lectures on these topics, and we have to...Read full review »

Give this podcast a listen! You don’t have to be a trained economist to learn something new and enjoy doing it. Dr Beckworth is an great host with a sense of humor and a humble approach.

This show covers a wide range of economic thought from a diversity of perspective. A wonderful resource for anyone learning or teaching economics and a great way to stay close to the currents of political economy.
Willbillbna via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/08/21
This lady obviously has a political agenda, and it just happens to be to the far left, the views should be balanced, not everyone opposed to destruction of their neighborhoods is a wealthy land owner! Utterly ridiculous!
MasterKanobi via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/28/21
I’ve been listening since the earliest days, in 2016, and it has been incredibly helpful in nurturing my interest in economics as I finished undergrad and got into the field. The guests have spanned a wide variety of fields in economics, and David asks pointed and interesting questions of all of...Read full review »

You cannot let a great guest go to waste because of crap sound… Please do not allow a guest to speak at the computer. Mic them up correctly or wait till you can. For this interview he sounds likes he’s in a small, enclosed room and the sound is reverberating off the walls…Otherwise I very much...Read full review »

A little something for everyone interested in macro. David keeps it fresh, and I like that he also hits on market-facing topics frequently rather than just a more purely theoretical discussion.
Avishs01 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/16/21
Topics are great and everything is really well explained !
Alcar2222 via Apple Podcasts · France · 04/05/21
entertaining and informative, plain and simple. a grasp of monetary policy that’s better than what you can find in almost any financial journalist and a curiosity about economics that’s greater than what you find in many academics!
lucreman via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/27/21
Very good podcast. A detailed thoughtful discussion.
pmmcmu via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/22/21
This is a great listen and informative as to the mainstream view. I think it could be improved if David would raise some of the rising popular criticisms of those views and tools with respect to a) lack of transparency, b) aggravating the wealth gap, d) credibility of and challenges to the...Read full review »

David Beckworth, the host of Macro Musings, is a terrific interviewer. He has a very diverse set of guests on the show, treats them with respect, and asks good questions. I’ve learned a lot from listening!

This economic podcast is by far my favourite. The subjects are fascinating and all the guests interviewed are excellent. They definitely should do more than one episode a week ! Thank you so much for the quality of your work, it’s always a pleasure to listen to it at home ! AD

Good podcast!

You probably need some basic background in economics to get the most out of these podcasts. A Money, Credit and Banking course would be ideal. A lot of the podcasts revolve around Fed monetary policy. But with a little reading and background prep, you can really get a lot out of David...Read full review »
Jske47Irish via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/03/20
I am at best an aspirational macroeconomist as of now, but I find this podcast incredibly helpful. Going through the many episodes one finds many contrary and new perspectives on macroeconomic issues of interest - especially monetary economics. If that is something one is looking for this podcast...Read full review »

The latest episode with Tom Hoenig was wrongly released on Conversation with Tyler. which helped me find the show!

David is well prepared so the conversation is structured.I also like the fact that he often summarizes key aspects.
cryptomias via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 05/01/20
My favorite is with Jim Bianco. I learned a lot about what’s going with low and negative interest rates, the fed and with repos. Will be tuning in daily. Thank you
Chef Medz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/30/20
The great thing about a successful podcast is the ability the be agnostic and offer views of different interpretation. Something which rival Macro Voices also does extremely well. I’m a newbie listener but love what I’m hear. It’s not for novice investors though.
Allperformers via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 12/27/19
In college I double majored and Economics I studied because I enjoyed it. Performing research with my professors are my favorite memories from that time period. Since then I had forgotten how much I enjoy learning about Economics and listening to this learning thinkers of this community. I’m...Read full review »

Hands down the best macroeconomics podcast produced today. David and his guests do an excellent job of taking often wonkish topics and discussing them in very approachable way. Would recommend to anyone with an interest in macro, central banking and monetary policy.
Econ postgrad at LSE via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/19/19
I discovered this blog recently on advice by a friend. The guests are generally very good and engage in good conversations with the host. As a former central banker, I find this blog really a gem, both on central banking issues and on macro in general. Highly recommended!

Insightful guest, great host.
Deucewut via Apple Podcasts · Thailand · 03/14/19
This is hands down one of the most amazing podcasts ever. It’s topical, features top notch economists and is conducted in a way that is so pleasing to listen to that all you need to do is grab a glass of what-have-you sit back and be immersed in easily understandable economic insight from some of...Read full review »

Great opportunity to hear from some substantial macro thinkers. David Beckworth is always on the ball, teasing out the speakers background with his well briefed questioning. Each new issue makes my morning walk on Wimbledon Common a even better experience.
London-Richard via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/19/18
Though David Beckworth is an expert in his own right on monetary policy and can speak knowledgeably about economics in general, he lets his guests do the talkingand never interrupts. He uses his economic insight to ask great questions that move the discussion down interesting paths. As is often...Read full review »

Macro musings is reliably topical and always interesting. David Beckworth manages to feature most of the leading Economics minds while having an uncanny way of asking the exact questions that I want answered.

A gem of a podcast. Dr. Beckworth gets highly esteemed guests from academia, industry, and the fed. They talk about the economy and really distill complicated and interesting ideas into manageable bites. This podcast makes the subject of economics addicting!
