Podcasts about cartoon introduction

Dr. Bauman earned his bachelor's degree in mathematics from Reed College, and his master's and Ph.D. from the University of Washington in Economics. Known as the first and only “Standup Economist” Dr. Bauman likes to inject humor into his teachings and analyze economic issues through a comedic lens. He is the author of several books including, "Tax Shift" and "The Cartoon Introduction to Economics." The former is an analysis of how to align our environmental goals with our tax system, while the latter is a beginner's book to learning economics. When he is not writing, Dr. Bauman performs his routine at companies, colleges, and conferences. He has performed for events hosted by Time Magazine, PBS, and NPR. He is also an activist, supporting and leading multiple environmental movements, most prominently, Clean the Darn Air, a movement created to encourage more environmental ballot initiatives in his home state of Utah. Dr. Bauman joined the Henry George School to discuss reforming economics education, how Canada implemented a carbon tax, and how taxing land value can improve welfare outcomes.

Yoram Bauman, the world's only standup economist, and co-author, with illustrator Grady Klein, of the second edition of The Cartoon Introduction to Climate Change. He also co-created cartoon introductions to economics, calculus, and digital ethics. Climate change is profoundly serious and becomes more disturbing with every report of extreme weather and record-breaking heat domes. The Cartoon Guide makes the science and politics of climate understandable and engaging.

What better way to celebrate Easter and Earth Day than a children's classic environmental tale, The Lorax? We'll share some great insight on environmental practices, but also great life lessons such as never giving up and always trying to do better. Check out Danny Devito reading The Lorax on YouTube.

Coronavirus Quarantine Tips (0:33)Nina Shapiro, MD, professor, UCLA, author of “Hype: A Doctor's Guide to Medical Myths”So school is canceled, meetings of more than 50 people are canceled and you're working from home because of the coronavirus pandemic.  But you feel fine and so do your kids. As far as you know you haven't come into contact with anyone who has the virus. Do you and your family really need to stay locked down? The CIA's Failed Quest to Develop Mind Control (11:55)Guest: Stephen Kinzer, Author of “Poisoner in Chief: Sidney Gottlieb and the CIA Search for Mind Control”The CIA has developed the ability to reprogram minds and wipe away inconvenient memories. At least in the movies, it can. That's what the CIA did to assassin Jason Bourne once they were finished with him. And that's where the Men in Black got their flashing pen-like “neutralizer” to erase knowledge of aliens from ordinary folks. So that's all fun and fiction, but for 10 years during the Cold War, the CIA really did have a secret mind control project. Instead of flashing pens, they were experimenting with LSD. And instead of a little harmless amnesia about aliens, the CIA was wreaking havoc on the minds of prisoners, children, sex workers and even some of their own government employees.

That's the key message you might take away from the steady warnings about climate change and carbon emissions. The atmosphere and oceans are warming. Droughts, wildfires and storms are getting more intense. Species are going rapidly extinct. Pollution threatens our drinking water. And basically, it's too late to reverse course. We're headed for a climate apocalypse unless the whole planet ditches fossil fuels and stops eating meat right now. I wish I were exaggerating here, but honestly, that's how dire and hopeless the situation feels. Still, marine ecologist Alejandro Frid thinks there is room for optimism. (Originally aired 12/5/2019) You Know You're a Standup Economist if...You're Yoram Bauman (1:25:41)Guest: Yoram Bauman, Standup Economist, Co-Author “Cartoon Introduction to Economics” and “Cartoon Introduction to Climate Change”Yoram Bauman travels the country trying to make people laugh at college gatherings and corporate events. He introduces himself as the “world's first and only standup economist.” Jokes about economics can be tricky, but if you get the right crowd, Bauman kills. And there's enough demand for economist jokes that this has been Bauman's full-time gig for a decade. (Originally aired 12/5/2019)

The Shifting Politics of Trade (0:30)Guest: Sean Ehrlich, PhD, Associate Professor of Political Science, Florida State University, Author of “The Politics of Fair Trade”President Trump hinted this week that the trade war with China may not be resolved until after the 2020 election next year. Meanwhile in Washington, Democrats in Congress are trying to decide if they'll approve the new trade deal President Trump negotiated with Canada and Mexico. The thing is that the deal has a lot of stuff Democrats like. But do they want to give President Trump any victory heading into the 2020 election? US Immigration Policy is Outdated. Here's a New Perspective (19:30)Guest: Justin Gest, PhD, Professor of Policy and Government, George Mason University, Author of “Crossroads: Comparative Immigration Regimes in a World of Demographic Change”The US immigration system is unusual among developed countries. Since the 1950s, America has prioritized family connections in deciding who gets to immigrate here. By contrast, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, China and the UK all use a points system to determine who gets a visa. Immigrants get points based on things like skills, education or income level.  President Trump has proposed something similar in the US. The question is just how points will be allotted to immigrants hoping for a US visa. Slick Spray-On Coating Makes Toilets Streak-free, Low-Water (37:40)Guest: Jing Wang, Postdoctoral Fellow, Mechanical Engineering, University of MichiganHow much water do you suppose it takes to flush a toilet? If it's an old toilet from before 1994, it could be more than 3 gallons. Per flush. Newer toilets still use a gallon or more per flush. And let's be honest, we sometimes flush more than once to get everything down the drain. What if the toilet bowl was so slick that nothing would stick? Imagine how much water we could save globally? Why It's Not all Doom and Gloom When it Comes to Climate Change (50:11)Guest: Alejandro Frid, Ecologist and Science Coordinator, Central Coast Indigenous Resource Alliance, Author of “Changing Tides: An Ecologist's Journey to Make Peace with the Anthropocene”Humans are ruining the planet.

Yoram joins Matt in the studio for a chat about comedy, bipartisan climate advocacy, and Yoram’s recent move to Utah. Bauman, who has a PhD in economics, has built a living doing humorous lectures and presentations on serious topics, including economics and climate change. He also has co-written several books, including “The Cartoon Introduction to Climate Change.” In Washington state, where Bauman lived until recently, he led an (ultimately unsuccessful) effort to pass Initiative 732, a major carbon tax proposal. Matt and Yoram discuss that effort in Washington, carbon taxes in general, and why he thinks it’s a possible policy in conservative Utah. For more information, check Yoram out on Twitter and his website, which has info on booking him to deliver presentations and lectures.

What’s so funny about climate change? Stand-up economist Yoram Bauman uses humor to explain carbon tax, cap and trade and the ‘Five Chinas’ theory. Yoram Bauman, PhD., Co-author, The Cartoon Introduction to Climate Change (with Grady Klein) (Island Press, 2014) Jonah Sachs, CEO, Free Range Studios This program was recorded in front of a live audience at the Commonwealth Club of California on July 8, 2014.

In this funny and educational talk, Bauman will make a humorous case for reforming our tax system and tackling climate change with a revenue-neutral carbon tax that places higher taxes on fossil fuels and uses the revenue to reduce existing taxes. Bauman, "the world’s first and only stand-up economist," performs regularly at colleges and corporate events. He has appeared in TIME Magazine and on PBS and NPR, and co-authored the two-volume Cartoon Introduction to Economics. Bauman has a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Washington.
