Interviews on money, markets, and AI.

Every episode is written out, with the full conversation under it. You can take the argument without sitting through the hour.

Lately that’s inflation, housing, the dollar, private credit, and the data centers going up to run the models. Some episodes go down to the machinery: energy, and who holds the keys.
