Episodes 4 & 9 about economics entitled “(In)Efficiency” and “Demeritocracy” are especially educational.
“Secular Salvations” is another great episode too!

“I’d listened to a few that were mildly interesting, and then got to the “demeritocracy” episode, where the host that suggested that old fashioned inheritance of status was better than a meritocracy, because at least then it wasn’t your fault if you were less fortunate.

“I’m really enjoying the podcast, but the un-even audio levels in some of your episodes are quite jarring and even distracting. Please please do a final mix of the audio before publishing your episodes. Make sure the narration has the same volume level as the interview excerpts.”
