Podcast appearances and mentions of David McWilliams

What happens when trust in money breaks down? In these economic times, Phumi Mashigo explores money, economies and more with author of "Money: A Story of Humanity" and economist David McWilliams. This conversation shows how money isn't just a financial tool - it's a shared belief, a social contract and one of the most powerful forces shaping our world. The Burning Platform

Live from the Franschhoek Literary Festival, The Afternoon Drive with John Maytham features a compelling conversation with Wandile Sihlobo, one of South Africa’s leading agricultural economists, following his participation in two provocative sessions: ”(Butt) Out of Africa” and “Seeds of Change.” Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather. The host’s eclectic interests mean the program often surprises the audience with intriguing book reviews and inspiring interviews profiling artists. A daily highlight is Rapid Fire, just after 5:30pm. CapeTalk fans call in, to stump the presenter with their general knowledge questions. Another firm favourite is the humorous Thursday crossing with award-winning journalist Rebecca Davis, called “Plan B”.

Wed, 30 Apr 2025 19:02:04 +0000 https://feed.neuezwanziger.de/link/21941/17019398/wolfram-weimer-trumps-niedergang-papst-prozession-eu-aussenpolitik-neue-zeitrechnungnung-und-sportideologie 75eba8b68f9807ef113d2a80dea51e4e Wolfgang und Stefan besprechen den April 2025 Welche Qualifikation braucht ein Kulturstaatsminister? Pah, das ist ja nicht mal ein richtiger Minister. Also eigentlich keine. Vielleicht wäre etwas mit Medien schön in der Biographie. Will uns die neue Bundesregierung ärgern? Ist Kultur von dort aus gesehen wirklich nur noch ein linksgrünversifftes Projekt, das ein paar hinter die Löffel bekommen soll? Oder ist die Ernennung von Wolfram Weimer einfach Sinnbild für die neue Herangehensweise, für die Modernisierung des Staates auf Verkaufsflächendesigner zu setzen, als Wirtschaftsministerin eine Unternehmensmanagerin zu wählen und überall Juristen zu platzieren, außer im Innenministerium? Wir gehen dem Denken von Wolfram Weimer heute im Detail nach, Wolfgang hat sein Buch gelesen. Danach begutachten wir die Signatur-Politik von Donald Trump. Einfach "Zölle" zu sagen, greift viel zu kurz. Hier klammern Leute am Staat, die ihn zerstören, was sie sich nicht eingestehen können, weil dann die anderen gewonnen hätten. Im Wirtschaftskrieg Amerika gegen China sind es nun die Amerikaner, die den Gesichtsverlust fürchten. Anschließend sehen wir einsame Sportler im Wald, die mal keinen Blödsinn erzählen. KÄS-Termine 2025: Fr. 20.06. / Fr. 19.09. / Fr. 19.12. per Mail: neuezwanziger@diekaes.de SOMMERSALON am 23. August! Tickets gibts hier 00:00:57 Wolfgangs Smartphone Wolfgang erzählt, wie er durch den Kauf eines neuen Autos dazu gezwungen wurde, sich ein Smartphone anzuschaffen. Sein altes Nokia reichte nicht mehr aus, um die modernen Funktionen des Autos zu nutzen. Er beschreibt den Kauf eines iPhones als Verlust seiner Autonomie und Freiheit, da er sich nun der Technologie unterwerfen muss. Stefan versucht, ihm die praktischen Seiten des Smartphones näherzubringen, wie die Navigationsfunktion, die nicht nur im Raum, sondern auch in der Zeit navigiert, indem sie die Ankunftszeit vorhersagt. Wolfgang will das Smartphone jedoch nur für das Nötigste nutzen und nicht für soziale Medien oder ständige Erreichbarkeit. 00:09:06 Strafen für Apple und Meta Passend zu Wolfgangs neuem iPhone wird über eine EU-Strafe gegen Apple berichtet. Die EU-Kommission wirft Apple vor, im App Store andere Anbieter benachteiligt zu haben, indem es Hinweise auf günstigere Angebote außerhalb des Stores verhinderte. Apple soll 500 Millionen Euro Strafe zahlen. Stefan hält die Strafe für längst überfällig, aber angesichts des Lock-in-Effekts, den Apple über Jahre ausgenutzt hat, für zu gering. Wolfgang rechnet vor, dass die Strafe nur einen Bruchteil (0,15%) des möglichen Strafmaßes von bis zu 10% des globalen Jahresumsatzes ausmacht. Auch Meta (Facebook, Instagram) erhielt eine Strafe von 200 Millionen Euro wegen der Praxis, Nutzer vor die Wahl zwischen personalisierter Werbung oder einem Bezahl-Abo zu stellen. Beide Strafen werden als symbolisch und wenig abschreckend kritisiert. Es wird diskutiert, dass die EU sich zwar nicht scheut, US-Tech-Konzerne zu bestrafen, aber die Abhängigkeit von deren digitaler Infrastruktur (Google Suche, Cloud-Dienste etc.) eine härtere Gangart verhindert. Matt Binder von Mashable erklärt, warum Meta die Strafe als "Tariff" (Zoll) bezeichnet, um negative Assoziationen in den USA zu wecken. 00:22:19 Papst beerdigt Stefan berichtet von seinem Wien-Besuch und der dortigen Schatzkammer, wo die Verschmelzung von staatlicher und sakraler Macht sichtbar wird. Im Kontrast dazu steht die als eher schlicht empfundene Beerdigungszeremonie für Papst Franziskus im Petersdom. Ein besonderer Moment war jedoch der Trauerzug mit dem Leichnam des Papstes durch das historische Zentrum Roms zur Basilika Santa Maria Maggiore, wo er beigesetzt wurde. Dieser Akt wurde selbst von nicht-religiösen Menschen als Gänsehautmoment empfunden und als letzter weltlicher Einschlag des Papstes gewertet. Wolfgang erinnert an die Tradition in Wien, verstorbene Burgschauspieler im Sarg um das Burgtheater zu tragen. Es wird auch die politische Dimension des Papsttums angesprochen, etwa die Rolle von Johannes Paul II. im Kalten Krieg oder Franziskus' Appelle gegen Aufrüstung. 00:28:15 Was denkt Wolfram Weimer Wolfram Weimer, ehemaliger Chefredakteur der Welt und Verleger (u.a. Cicero), wurde zum neuen Kulturstaatsminister ernannt. Die Entscheidung von Friedrich Merz löste viel Kritik aus, auch aus konservativen Kreisen. Jürgen Kaube (FAZ) bezweifelt Weimers Interesse an Kunst oder Geist. Die enge Verbindung zwischen Merz und Weimer (Golfpartner, Ludwig-Erhard-Gipfel, gegenseitige Lobpreisungen) wird beleuchtet. Wolfgang hat Weimers "Konservatives Manifest" gelesen, um dessen Denken zu verstehen. In einem Lanz-Auftritt von 2018 erklärt Weimer, Konservatismus sei wieder modern und bedeute nicht das Hängen am Gestern, sondern das Leben aus Werten, die immer gelten (Treue, Anständigkeit, Ehrlichkeit). Wolfgang kritisiert die Beliebigkeit dieser Definition. Stefan sieht Weimer als Gallionsfigur eines verlotternden Untergangs, der Chaos als Normalität verkauft. Weimers Buch wird analysiert: Er beklagt den Niedergang linker Weltanschauungen, interpretiert Böckenförde und Max Weber eigenwillig, fordert eine minimale Gesellschaft, kritisiert die "Bemutterung" durch den Staat (z.B. Verkehrsüberwachung) und sieht die Steuererklärung als "Marsch ins Freiheitsdefizit". Diese libertären Züge werden kritisiert. Weimer beklagt eine "Kleinkariertheit" durch Compliance-Regeln, die Geschenke und Geschäftsessen erschweren. Wolfgang hält das für Jammern auf hohem Niveau. Weimer stellt das Individuum über die Gesellschaft, fordert aber gleichzeitig Patriotismus und unterscheidet zwischen staatsbürgerlichem und natürlichem (Abstammungs-) Vaterland. Diese Widersprüche und die Nähe zum Ethnopluralismus werden diskutiert. Weimer bezieht sich positiv auf Oswald Spengler und beklagt die "biologische Selbstaufgabe" Europas durch niedrige Geburtenraten, spricht vom "eigenen Blut". Er kritisiert die Fokussierung auf die "dunkle Seite" des Kolonialismus in Lehrplänen. Die "Tugendrepublik" der "Gutmenschen" mit ihren Verboten (Fleisch, Kaminfeuer) und Quoten wird angeprangert. Am Ende plädiert er für eine Rechristianisierung Europas durch die Kultur. Abschließend äußern sich Michael Bröker und Micky Beisenherz zur Personalie. 02:20:54 Salon-Anmerkungen Es wird auf den kostenpflichtigen "Salon"-Teil des Podcasts hingewiesen, der die Sendung finanziert. Hörer werden gebeten, den Podcast zu teilen und zu bewerten, um die Sichtbarkeit zu erhöhen. Im nächsten Salon werden die Bücher "Abundance: How We Build a Better Future" von Esra Klein & Derek Thompson und "Die Welt nach dem Kapital" von Albert Wenger besprochen. Es wird erklärt, wie man den Salon über Steady, Patreon oder Apple Podcasts abonnieren kann. Man kann den Salon auch verschenken. Wolfgang kündigt Live-Termine in Zürich und Stuttgart an. Stefan erwähnt einen Termin in Mainz. Leseempfehlungen für den nächsten Salon werden gegeben. 02:26:38 Trumps Fanboys reden über Trumps Zölle Das Hauptthema ist Donald Trumps Zollpolitik. Es wird betont, dass dies seine "Signature Policy" ist, über die er seit Jahrzehnten spricht. Die aktuelle Situation mit Handelskriegen und Marktverwerfungen wird als direkte Folge dieser Politik gesehen. David McWilliams beschreibt Trumps Zoll-Formel als amateurhaft und inkompetent, basierend auf einer Formel, die ökonomisch keinen Sinn ergibt. Wolfgang erläutert den Unterschied zwischen früherer politischer Inkompetenz, die von Institutionen abgefangen wurde, und der heutigen Situation, in der Inkompetenz direkt an den Schalthebeln sitzt und zu chaotischer Politik führt. Stefan ergänzt, dass die Politik normalerweise durch die Verwaltung abgeschottet ist, dieser Mechanismus aber unter Trump zusammenbricht. Trumps Fokus auf Zölle ignoriert die Stärke Amerikas im Bereich digitaler Dienstleistungen und das Dollar-Privileg. Die Reaktion der Kapitalmärkte (steigende Zinsen für US-Staatsanleihen) wird als einziger wirksamer "Check" gegen Trumps Politik diskutiert, da sie die Staatsverschuldung und Kredite verteuert. Trump-Anhänger im "All In"-Podcast versuchen, die Politik zu rechtfertigen, räumen aber ein, dass das versprochene Wirtschaftswachstum ausbleibt. Hoss und Hopf sehen Trumps Handeln als Beschleunigung einer unvermeidbaren Rezession, damit er am Ende seiner Amtszeit als Gewinner dasteht – eine Logik, die als absurd kritisiert wird. Die Notwendigkeit, die heimische Landwirtschaft (Sojabauern) mit Milliardensummen zu subventionieren, um Wählerstimmen zu sichern, wird erwähnt. China reagiert mit der Drohung, westliche IP-Rechte zu ignorieren und Produkte selbst billiger anzubieten. Der Personalmangel in wichtigen Sektoren (Energieversorgung, U-Boot-Bau) in den USA wird thematisiert. Ben Shapiro plädiert für "Rugged Individualism" und lehnt staatliche Eingriffe ab, obwohl der Staat gleichzeitig Grenzen schützen soll. 04:10:24 Krieg: Gaza, Ukraine Die Berichterstattung über den Gaza-Krieg wird kritisiert. Es sei schwierig, seriöse Bilder und Informationen zu erhalten, ohne auf antisemitische Kanäle zu stoßen, die das Leid in Gaza zwar zeigen, aber gleichzeitig Hetze verbreiten. Seriöse Medien würden sich scheuen, die dramatische Lage abzubilden, was wiederum Antisemiten Vorschub leiste. Die Tagesthemen berichten über einen israelischen Angriff auf ein Krankenhaus, bei dem eine Hamas-Kommandozentrale getroffen worden sei, wobei jedoch medizinisches Gerät zerstört wurde. Diese Darstellung wird mit der Berichterstattung über den Ukraine-Krieg verglichen, wo eine solche Übernahme der russischen Darstellung undenkbar wäre. Ein Bericht über die Tötung von palästinensischen Sanitätern durch die israelische Armee, deren Leichen verscharrt wurden, wird erwähnt. Israel weist die Vorwürfe zurück und behauptet ohne Belege, es seien Hamas-Mitglieder gewesen. Ein israelischer Reserve-Offizier äußert sich besorgt über den zunehmenden Einfluss rechtsextremer Minister auf die Armee. Es wird die Entkopplung von Soldaten vom zivilen Leben und der Politik im Krieg thematisiert, illustriert durch Aussagen eines ukrainischen Soldaten, der nur noch seinen Frontabschnitt und seine Leute sieht. Die psychischen Folgen und die Verrohung durch den Krieg werden angesprochen. 04:28:46 EU und Aserbaidschan Die EU-Außenbeauftragte Kaya Kallas besucht Aserbaidschan. Stefan merkt an, dass Kallas im Westen kaum bekannt ist, in Russland aber neben Trump als Hauptgegnerin wahrgenommen wird. Kallas bezeichnet China als Schlüssel für den russischen Krieg, da es Russland wirtschaftlich und mit Dual-Use-Gütern unterstütze. Ihr Besuch in Baku wird kritisiert, da Aserbaidschan unter Präsident Aliyev einen Angriffskrieg gegen Armenier in Bergkarabach geführt hat, die Zivilgesellschaft unterdrückt und politische Gefangene hält. Dustin Hoffmann wirft der EU-Kommission vor, Werte zu ignorieren und sich brutalen Diktatoren anzubieten. Kallas lobt Aserbaidschan hingegen als wichtigen und verlässlichen Energiepartner, der der EU geholfen habe, sich von russischer Energie zu lösen. Es wird enthüllt, dass Aserbaidschan russisches Gas an die EU weiterleitet und somit von den Sanktionen profitiert. Kallas spricht dennoch von gemeinsamen Werten wie Menschenrechten und Rechtsstaatlichkeit und begrüßt eine Einigung im Friedensprozess mit Armenien. Der aserbaidschanische Außenminister Bayramov betont die guten Beziehungen zur Türkei und kritisiert die Biden-Administration als zu pro-armenisch. Er zeigt sich hoffnungsvoll bezüglich der neuen Trump-Administration. Aserbaidschan pflegt trotz seiner muslimischen Prägung enge Beziehungen zu Israel, bezieht Waffen und liefert Erdöl. Das Verhältnis zu Russland wird als "normal" beschrieben, wobei man die territoriale Integrität der Ukraine respektiere. Aserbaidschan wird als Beispiel für neue globale Akteure gesehen, die pragmatisch mit allen Seiten kooperieren und Einmischung ablehnen. 04:48:15 Neue Zeitrechnung Der Erfolgscoach Ed Mylett präsentiert ein Konzept zur Zeitmanipulation: Er teilt seinen Tag in drei 6-Stunden-Abschnitte (6-12 Uhr, 12-18 Uhr, 18-24 Uhr) und gewinnt so angeblich 21 Tage pro Woche. Wolfgang entlarvt dies als simple Einführung von Doppelschichten. Stefan meint, dass KI solche individuellen Zeitrechnungen problemlos in Standardzeit übersetzen könnte. 04:51:08 Neue Sportideologie Es wird eine aufkeimende Gegenbewegung zur rechten Vereinnahmung von Fitness und Männlichkeit beobachtet. Als Beispiel dient ein Fitness-Influencer, der in einem Video klarstellt, dass das Heben von Gewichten einen nicht zum "Warrior" oder Beschützer macht. Er kritisiert "Douchbags wie Andrew Tate", die Männern einreden, Frauen und Immigranten seien ihre Probleme. Er analysiert, wie rechte Ideologien über harmlos erscheinende Aktivitäten wie Fitness normalisiert und Fitness selbst radikalisiert wird. Der wahre Feind seien nicht andere Gruppen, sondern die Superreichen und CEOs, die von der Ungleichheit profitieren ("The enemy is up"). Er ruft Männer dazu auf, sich als Arbeiterklasse zu erkennen und sich nicht länger von den Eliten spalten zu lassen, um echten Wandel zu ermöglichen. Wolfgang hofft, dass solche Stimmen lauter werden. Stefan erwartet einen großen Backlash gegen die aktuelle politische Situation, die von Partikularinteressen und offensichtlicher Dummheit geprägt sei. Die Rolle von superreichen Geldgebern und Netzwerken innerhalb der CDU wird angesprochen. Komm' in den Salon. Es gibt ihn via Webplayer & RSS-Feed (zum Hören im Podcatcher deiner Wahl, auch bei Apple Podcasts und Spotify).

With Republicans Overseas' UK chairman Greg Swenson, chief executive of the American Chamber of Commerce in Ireland Paul Sweetman, and economist David McWilliams

David McWilliams, economist, podcaster and Irish Times columnist looks ahead to what US tariffs could mean for Irish businesses and consumers.

Is Trumponomics Delivering? Joining Anton to answer that was David McWilliams, economist, writer and host of the ‘The David McWilliams Podcast'.

It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! Emma speaks with David McWilliams, Irish economist and writer, to discuss Trump's interest in the presidency of William McKinley. Then, she speaks with Lily Greenberg Call, former political appointee in the Biden administration, to discuss the recent developments in the detention of Mahmoud Khalil. First, Emma runs through updates on the Senate's vote on cloture and the Continuing Resolution, Trump's mass layoffs, the gutting of the DOE, Trump's trade war with Europe, the falling stock market, Trump's failed nomination for CDC director, Tim Walz's political tour, the UN's independent inquiry into Israel's genocide, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Mayor of Miami's crackdown on free speech, and the attack on the IRS, before expanding on the ongoing fight within the US Senate to block the GOP's partisan Continuing Resolution which would effectively neuter Congress amid Trump's reign, and watching Markwayne Mullin accidentally give away the game on Trump's tariff war. David McWilliams then dives right into the historical context for Trump's obsession with William McKinley – 25th President of the United States – highlighting how the election of McKinley in 1896 served as a major turning point in the evolution of the Gilded Age, as a culmination of a populist push against growing economic consolidation amid increasing culture war and a rapidly growing (and changing) working class with an influx of European immigration, and the very clear parallels with how Trump is handling the similarities in this moment, from his alignment with the monopolists and oligarchs of the time, to his obsession with small territorial acquisitions while pushing an isolaitonist economic agenda. After touching on the end to McKinley with his assassination in 1901 and the major role his Vice President Teddy Roosevelt would play in pushing back against the political takeover of robber barons and monopolists, putting a bit of a damper on potential parallels to the Big Tech-backed JD Vance, McWilliams walks Emma through McKinley's expansive project to bolster the pockets of his wealthy donors, from cementing the shift to a gold standard (crypto reserve anyone?!) and bolstering rail monopoly at the expense of America's farming majority, to the inception of lobbying with the backing of his 1896 campaign by notorious businessman Mark Hanna (Musk), who would rally the wealthy elite behind McKinley to change the facts on the ground. Having briefly expanded on McKinley's imperial agenda, and the particular role it plays in creating an atmosphere of chaos to mask the kleptocracy at work, David looks to the extreme lengths Trump has taken McKinley tariff regime, applying them to quite literally every close ally the US has in such a drastic manner it offers little explanation outside of in-group speculation while the economy as a whole collapses. They wrap up the interview by touching on the role McKinleyism and the Gilded Age played in spurring the emergence of the US labor movement under FDR. Lily Greenberg-Call then joins as she and Emma parse through the abduction and detainment of Columbia University activist and Greencard holder/permanent US resident Mahmoud Khalil over his speech in support of a free Palestine, reflecting on the vast distance between the response Chuck Schumer gave – largely defending Israel and denouncing Khalil's speech – and that of Chris Murphy – who cites the criminalization of speech that goes against Trump's agenda in contrast with the happy embrace of explicitly Nazi speech. Next, they dissect the particularly disgusting way in which antisemitism has been abused over this fight, from the White House's explicit references to judaism in their flaunting of this authoritarian overstep, to the fact that the statute they're using to defend their action is grounded in the antisemitic McCarthyist movement, and the value of seeing Jewish Americans stand up and fight for Mahmoud Khalil's rights, wrapping up the interview by emphasizing the need to keep that momentum going, showing up in the streets to fight for Khalil and any other victims of the Trump regime. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder as they unpack dweebs Tim Pool and Russell Brand's fear of a real punk rock lifestyle (shoutout Against Me!), before talking to Rob from DC about calling our Senators. They also do some side-by-side comparisons of NYC candidates for Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo in their response to the abduction of New Yorker Mahmoud Khalil at the hands of the Trump administration, before listening to Tommy Tuberville explain why its fine to treat protesters this way, actually, and watching economists struggle with explaining Trump's tariff agenda. They also reflect a little more on Against Me! and trans identity with Ramona Frankenstein, before Mimi from Colorado delivers a plea to save our federal land, plus, your calls and IMs!

"Despite being a fully paid-up member of the economist tribe for many years, I've concluded that most economists don't really understand money," says David McWilliams, co-founder of Kilkenomics, (the world's first economics and comedy festival). David's new book, Money: A Story of Humanity, explains why he takes this entertainingly provocative position – and backs it up with powerful arguments. The book has received many plaudits. Professor Brian Cox describes it as: "A breathtaking, expansive and imaginative ride through the history and future of money from an author who truly understands it." And this free-ranging discussion with Russell Napier – embracing Karl Marx, Van Morrison and James Joyce – is just as fascinating.•To discover more about Kilkenomics, go to: https://www.kilkenomics.com•The Library of Mistakes runs an outstanding course called the Practical History of Financial Markets.

Forty years ago Ireland had a high number of emigrants and very few multinational corporations. Then it became a tax haven. Today, the country is the headquarters for the European arms of companies such as Apple, Google and Intel. The country also has an €8bn surplus, and is about to get €13bn more following a court ruling with the iPhone maker. Today on the show, Katie Martin and Irish economist David McWilliams try to figure out what Ireland should do with all this extra cash.

Economist and broadcaster David McWilliams spoke to Jerry about his new book, Money: The Story of Humanity. His central argument is that we need to recognise the real role money has played in our history and argues that in this era of cryptocurrency, we need to think about money differently.

David McWilliams hosts one of the most successful podcasts in Ireland - and it also happens to be my favourite. I had the privilege and pleasure of chatting to him this week about his new book called Money - A Story of Humanity. It is not a book about how to become an economist (I'm relieved to report), but rather a fascinating history book, exploring the idea of money and its impact on society. If you've any interest in the underlying message of The Wizard of Oz, where the name for The Dixie Chicks comes from, or just how close Hitler came to destabilising the British economy, this might just be the episode for you!  Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

The sound of change jangling in our pockets may be less familiar in these days of contactless payment, but we all know how important money can feel in our lives. But might it actually have shaped human history? From the very beginnings of money as a concept, through ideas like credit, forecasting, and cryptocurrency, to its connections to literary classics and great works of art, economist David McWilliams finds the stories that will help the reader to understand the innate link between money and human innovation, and why it might be the secret to our success as a species.

Aubrey McCarthy is the founder and chairman of Tiglin, a charity that provides services to homeless people. ***** I listen to podcasts quite a bit in arrears. I'm not too worried about being current, I suppose, and I was just listening to a David McWilliams podcast from August, he was talking about the banks, not […]

David McWilliams and Shane Walser have been Long Line Trolling almost as long as Brad, who as many of you know, has made a career, and won many tournaments using this very technique. It's a great way to kick back, relax and enjoy a day of fishing WITHOUT LIVE SONAR!

David joins Ray to chat about his Ted talk that is out today about the power of unconventional thinking.

Ray is joined by an array of guests.

From World War II to the 2008 economic collapse and beyond, history shows that economists don't always see the future as clearly as they think they do, says David McWilliams. Using the words of W.B. Yeats, McWilliams makes the case for embracing unconventional thinkers – poets, artists and musicians – and offers a creative path towards a world filled with less confirmation bias and more understanding.

25 years since the people of both Northern Ireland and the Republic voted to accept the Good Friday Agreement, another potential referendum looms on the distant horizon. That Agreement, though primarily to end the violence of the Troubles, allows for a future border poll that would determine whether Northern Ireland remained part of the United Kingdom, or re-joined the south. But crucially, few people realise that it's not just up to Northern Ireland voters: consent is required on both sides of the border. And for voters in the Republic, it's more complicated than you might think. Andrea Catherwood investigates what the new, highly-educated, liberal, European-focused Irish Republic thinks about the possibility of its northern neighbours, from whom they were parted more than 100 years ago, re-joining their country. Polls suggest a number of issues; symbols, violence, economics. Can Ireland afford it, and does it want to? Is it just too much trouble? With contributions from the main Irish political parties, as well as economist David McWilliams and Irish Times political editor Pat Leahy, the assumption of a yes vote from the republic isn't as straightforward as many assume.

David McWilliams, podcaster and economist joined the lads to tell them all about this year's Dalkey Book Festival and the big names coming to Ireland!

Chris Johns is a regular contributor to Eamon Dunphy's The Stand podcast and he also writes regularly about politics and economics. More recently he has launched his own podcast with fellow economist Jim Power, called ‘The Other Hand'. I read and listen to his work regularly and always find him to be highly intelligent, wonderful with words, and very insightful about a lot of the issues I find fascinating – like who or what is ‘the markets' and why do they seem to exert so much control over all of us? How did the UK become such a basket case so quickly? Why do economists get paid so much to make predictions that 90% of the time turn out to be wrong? There was so much I wanted to ask Chris that we ended up talking for almost 2 hours, so we've decided to chop it up into two parts for you. This is part 1 in which we learn about Chris early life and how he was the first of his family to go to University, how he ended up being able to semi-retire at 55, his brilliant take on Boris Johnson and UK politics, why economists should never get paid to make predictions, why Facebook should never have been allowed to get so big, and lots more.

These days it can be a dangerous thing to hold an opinion. It's a bit like holding a firework, it has the potential to blow up in your face. The whole subject of opinions, freedom of speech, and discussion is one that fascinates me so I was delighted that one of Ireland‘s foremost opinion writers agreed to join me on the podcast this week to chat all about it. Brenda Power has been writing opinions columns regularly for decades, she's a pro at it, and she has attracted her fair share of controversy over some of the things she has written. So as you can imagine, we had plenty to talk about.
