Spoiler Alert:  You spend too much on entertainment!  (A conversation between podcast hosts John Guy and Morton Marcus.)

This rambling dicussion between two economists, our host Morton Marcus, and our guest Bruce Jaffee, covers money in athletics, history disappearing, news as entertainment, regulating business, and the compelling need to teach critical thinking--the ability to ask questions, to see the difference between fact and fiction.  For over four decades, Bruce was a teacher, an observer, an author of impact studies, and a faculty representative to the NCAA.  

Appraising assets of The American Songbook Foundation, Colts owner Jim Irsay, royalty in London, and hundreds of others, is the occupation of our guest, J.

Barbara Bloom, who recently relocated to Bellingham, Washington, shares poems about the deep connection she finds in nature, especially in Santa Cruz, where she lived for over 30 years. Barbara studied poetry with Santa Cruz poets, Joe Stroud and Morton Marcus and taught in the English Department of Cabrillo College for nearly 30 years. In this episode, Barbara reads and discusses poems of departure and the reassurance of perpetual presence in the natural world--a theme that permeates her Santa Cruz poems as well as those about her teenage years with her family on a coastal homestead in British Columbia, Canada. She is a member of the local Hummingbird Poetry Collective and has two volumes of poetry: On the Water Meridian (2007) and Pulling Down the Heavens (2017), both published by Hummingbird Press.

What do   primogeniture, seats in churches and classrooms, the alphabet, gender, chance, merit, personal height, and first-come/first-served     have in common?  The answer, according to Morton Marcus in this unique lecture, is each is used to allocate authority, position, and scarce resources.
