Pippa Milgram not truthful
I generally find this podcast helpful and educational, if a bit behind the times on economics with a strong neoliberal bent (for example, GDP as the be-all and end-all and the appropriate way to measure growth in all cases). But this episode with Pippa Milgram was totally off the rails. They let her just flat out lie about Robert Kennedy Jr without any challenge at all. For example she says he isn’t anti vaccine just against “vaccines that haven’t been tested.” This is demonstrably false in almost every single one of his public statements simply because there is no such thing as an “untested” vaccine. She implies the Covid vaccines have shown many problems with wide use and this is completely not supported by the data. She also claims RFK Jr is being funded by small dollar donors which is also not true - he has received huge amounts of money from some of the richest donors in the business. This was very deceptive and disappointing to platform this woman telling falsehoods and misleading with regards to a major election in the US - this kind of uncritical platforming and allowing someone to simply flat out lie with no push back at all is pretty shocking. Please do better

The odd good moment in between ads for patreon, the Dalkey Book Fest, David's Columns and everything else. As has already been said, the lack of diversity is very noticeable.Read full review »
