Good interviewees, weak hosts
Tracy and Joe are usually not challenging the assertions of guests. They cover too much in too short a time and don’t get into details. They do not pause to appreciate, investigate or test dramatic and shaky claims, and fail to highlight moral assumptions. e.g in “talking mmt” with Cullen Roche, guest was saying things like “capitalism manages inflation via a buffer of unemployment”, which is almost a quote from Karl Marx. Hosts didn’t pause to reflect on the collectivist worldview behind that statement. Another example, in an episode on the future with nirp, the guest was making very sweeping and speculative predictions about changes to worldwide economic regimes, and there was apparently no time or interest to get into any details or challenge anything he said.

More reviews of Odd Lots
Topics are usually pretty good for lay people that find this subject interesting. As stated in so many previous reviews but clearly nothing done about it is the audio quality of both hosts but especially Joe’s. Weird hill to die on

Love the combo of Tracey and Joe. Both provide unique insights on a wide variety of topics. One of my favourites was when Joe pulled out the guitar!
