POPULARITY
In the age of TikTok and Polymarket, it can be easy to overlook the humble book. But books are one of the most influential technologies ever invented. From “The Wealth of Nations” to “Das Kapital,” books have the power to shape whole economic systems… and everything else in our world. The market for books can determine which ideas make it to the masses. So when Planet Money was approached to make its own book, not only did it present an opportunity to spread the gospel of whimsical economic infotainment to new audiences everywhere, but it also presented an opportunity to get a rare peek behind the curtain of the notoriously opaque world of publishing. On today's episode, the first chapter in our series on the making of a book: Planet Money sets out to land a book deal. We enter the high stakes, high school drama of the publishing industry, where literary agents try to woo powerful book editors. And we learn what happens when lofty artistic ideals meet the cold logic of the market. It's a courtship dance with millions of dollars potentially on the line. There will be whale fights, corporate speed dating, and a literary shotgun wedding.Live event info and tickets here.

Amid the ongoing Strait of Hormuz crisis, President Trump has voiced frustration with NATO allies for declining to provide naval or other support, repeatedly calling their position disappointing and suggesting it could damage the alliance long-term. He reiterated that the U.S. does not require their assistance in confronting Iran but questioned whether NATO would ever truly be there for America in a crisis. Such statements have kept the topic of a potential U.S. pullout alive in political discourse. With tensions rising, even low-probability bets on Polymarket reflect the uncertainty. This comes alongside the high-profile resignation of Joe Kent from his role leading the National Counterterrorism Center, where he protested the administration's decision to engage in the Iran war.

Welcome out to another Trading Justice podcast. We've got a packed show this week as the market continues to trade headlines surrounding the Iran conflict, crude oil, and the Strait of Hormuz. We break down the latest escalation around Kharg Island, why oil remains the key macro driver right now, and what traders should actually be watching while volatility stays elevated. We also preview this week's Fed meeting and take a look back at Jay Powell's tenure as Fed Chair. With only a couple meetings left before his term ends, we walk through the biggest moments of the Powell era — from the 2018 rate hikes and the Powell Pivot, to the pandemic response, the transitory inflation mistake, the aggressive hiking cycle, and the banking crisis. We discuss the best decisions, the worst mistakes, and where Powell ranks among modern Fed chairs. To close the show, we play a Polymarket game and react to betting odds tied to the war, the Strait of Hormuz, U.S. military escalation, midterms, the 2028 election, OpenAI, aliens, movies, and even whether LeBron will retire. A mix of macro, markets, politics, and a little fun to finish the podcast.
We kick off this episode paying respect to the brave men who video people in public with the hope that they will get assaulted and have an excuse to use pepper spray on their assailants. We chat about the film Project Hail Mary, which leads to a broader discussion about the Oscars and why its audience has shrunk so significantly in recent years. We break down a post by one of our patrons about the consequences of our changing views and then discuss the popularity of online betting sites like Polymarket and Kalshi. We conclude by talking about GLP-1 drugs and a new segment of "Pastor Jack's Off."
I sat down with Dewey and Igor from Function Space at ETHDenver to discuss how they're building something fundamentally different in prediction markets. They're not creating another venue like Polymarket or Kalshi. Instead, they're building the primitive layer underneath - enabling developers to create numerical range forecasting markets for anything from Tesla's quarterly revenue to Apple's iPhone sales. We explore why they believe prediction markets can become a superset of all financial instruments, the challenges of building in such a competitive space, and why being at the protocol level might be the smartest play. If you're interested in the infrastructure powering the next generation of prediction markets, this conversation reveals what's happening beneath the surface. • [00:00] Function Space is building the primitive layer for prediction markets, not another venue• [02:00] The team's background from BankSA and their transition into prediction markets• [03:00] Function Space enables numerical range forecasting vs binary yes/no contracts• [06:00] The business model centers on native token demand for market resolution• [09:00] Emerging trends: Pre-ICO TGE markets and yield hedging for DeFi protocols• [13:00] Why building at the protocol level consolidates liquidity better than fragmented venues• [18:00] Prediction markets becoming primitives themselves - like Condo Finance using positions as collateral• [21:00] The challenge of being novel: communicating concepts that don't exist yet• [23:00] Prediction markets divorced from crypto cycles - volumes up even when crypto's down• [26:00] Actively seeking builders and advanced traders for their private trial programConnect with FunctionSpace:https://www.functionspace.dev/ https://x.com/functionspaceHQhttps://t.me/+pUEOlfRhHspiNmRlDisclaimer:Nothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

OA1243 - The lawsuit that was supposed to break up Ticketmaster and Live Nation's obvious monopoly over live music throughout the U.S. has just ended in a settlement so surprising that even DOJ's lead counsel didn't know it was happening. Is this deal as bad as it looks? What does it mean for the future of live entertainment, and what will happen if the dozens of states which joined the feds in this case don't sign off on it? Also: An insurance company sues ChatGPT for telling someone to fire their lawyer, the first (known) instance of a DOJ lawyer writing a brief with AI, and Kristi Noem's Marvel-ous new job. Finally in today's footnote--did thousands of people really just bet on the death of Ayatollah Ali Khameni?

And increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working-class, often male, working-class voters,” Karp said in a CNBC interview Thursday. “And so these disruptions are gonna disrupt every aspect of our society.

In this episode, we break down a whirlwind week across crypto, tech, and venture markets. We unpack Bitcoin's renewed rally into the 70s and explore how geopolitical tensions, hash‑rate swings, and macro narratives are driving price action. Then we dive into the CFTC's latest push to regulate prediction markets, and what it means for platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi as "gambling" and "forecasting" continue to blur. The conversation shifts to the so‑called "SaaS‑pocalypse" and whether the doom narrative holds up in a world where AI-native companies are generating 10× more revenue per employee. Finally, we spotlight the nearly 40 new unicorns minted this year, with AI dominating the list, and discuss what this potentially says about where capital, innovation, and excitement are flowing in 2026.

MultiChain Advisors - The Growth & Capital Markets Partner You Need Hyperliquid is having its mainstream moment like Polymarket in 2024 and OpenSea in 2021. Amid the U.S.'s war on Iran, the platform has become a popular venue for speculators to express their market opinions. Uneasy Money hosts Kain Warwick, Luca Netz and Taylor Monahan dig into choices that have allowed Hyperliquid to succeed where many others before it have failed. In a single sentence: not putting ideology over the product's goals. Kain says the protocol may become unassailable in the future even as Luca says HYPE is bound to be a top five crypto by market cap. The crew also discusses Pudgy Penguin's new open world game Pudgy World. Luca says “crypto rails have to be a tech stack not a hook” explaining why the game relegated crypto to the background. Plus, how Across Protocol's move to pivot to only equity highlights the broken nature of tokens. Has Luca cracked the problem? Listen to find out!

As black rain falls from the smoke-choked skies of Tehran, the US and Israel continue their war against the Islamic Republic of Iran. From the start, Trump officials have seemed only to disagree on both the murky rationale and the objectives of their mission. Meanwhile, the Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been flooded with reports of commanding officers rallying their troops with apocalyptic pep talks in which Trump has been anointed by Jesus to kick-off Armageddon. This should come as no surprise, given that Sec of Def Pete Hegseth, has been holding Christian Nationalist prayer and worship services in the Pentagon since last May. Beyond the obviousness of this religious politics, Matthew looks at how Canadian PM, Mark Carney, supports Trump, and this war, while pretending not to, using deceptive language tricks that borrow from religion to blur the line between strength and values, power and principle. But, hey, if you want to distract yourself from all this, Polymarket is a wonderful place to bet on who's going to be bombed next. Derek breaks down how prediction markets have become a massively lucrative Rorschach-portrait of our times.

Polymarket is Gross | Ep 1151 | Crazy Town Podcast
Who's the Politician on our Playlist this week? It's Seth Magaziner, the Democrat from Rhode Island's 2nd Congressional District and he's got a new bill to regulate these rapidly growing, and completely unregulated, betting apps like Kalshi and Polymarket. These sites are now aquiring massive amounts of election data and are, as of now, going to be taking bets on upcoming elections in this country! That means a politician running could...throw the election...and bet against himself...and make a pile of money--LEGALLY???? Yes, you heard all that correctly. But the question is, will Congress take up Seth's new bill? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Hey, soccer fans! No one likes boring soccer, and no one likes a draw. So by that logic, no one liked the Chicago Fire's match against the Columbus Crew this weekend. Both teams were dealing with injuries and neither wanted to press their attack too hard and give up a an easy counter-attack goal to lose the match. As a result, we saw a game played in the middle third of the field. There were a couple good chances by each team - for the Men in Red, newcomers Dylan Borso and Mbekezeli Mbokazi could've found game winners - but Patrick Schulte and Chris Brady were up to the challenge. Listen in as Nick breaks down the big plays, analyzes the statisticis, and expresses his concerns for the Fire's position thus far. He also discusses the news of former Columbus Crew players Yaw Yeboah and Derrick Jones receiving lifetime bans from Major League Soccer for gambling on games they played in. How does this affect MLS' reputation and how will their new partnership with predictive market platform Polymarket be affected? Tune in and join the conversation!

What is driving their mainstream adoption now? Why are platforms moving beyond sports into politics, economics, and war-risk speculation? And when markets start pricing everything from championship games to the possibility of conflict with Iran, are they revealing collective intelligence, or just turning uncertainty into entertainment?Sponsors and partners:Promeed: 100% mulberry silk pillowcases and bedding that feel incredibly soft, stay breathable, and are naturally gentle on hair and skin.SurviveX: professional-grade FSA/HSA eligible first aid and preparedness kits designed in Virginia, USA and produced in an FDA-registered facility.Alison US CA: Alison is the world's largest free online learning and skills-training platform, helping more than 50 million learners in 193+ countries build career-ready skills with 6,000+ free courses, certificates, and diplomas.eSign (iOS only): eSign is a clean, privacy-first document-signing app that works entirely on your device, letting you sign PDFs, DOCX files, images, and scans, edit and assemble pages, and export crisp 300 DPI PDFs in seconds, without accounts, cloud uploads, or compromising sensitive documents.Support the show

Crypto's vibe check time: Jez (izebel_eth) joins the crew to dissect whether idealism is RIP, if cypherpunks should abandon hope, how Memecoins and asset mayhem changed the game, why prediction markets are both truth engines and regulatory minefields, and where real permissionless finance is actually winning in the middle of global chaos. Welcome to The Chopping Block — where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week the gang is joined by super-perpetuals-junkie Jez for a spicy look at whether crypto has lost its soul — or if things are just getting interesting. Is crypto's vibe shift just growing pains, or did Memecoins and jaded traders nuke our idealism for good? The crew rehashes dreams of cypherpunk glory, debates the “death of the dream,” and gets existential about crypto's place in a world where everything is either a commodity, a meme, or a permissionless financial machine. Plus: War in Iran sends TradFi running, but DeFi markets are live, and prediction markets step up just as the regulators get weird. Enough nostalgia — let's get into it.
