Podcasts about public money

In dieser Ausgabe sprechen wir zunächst über Rückmeldungen zur letzten Sendung und über die Frage, wie digitale Souveränität bei Zahlungen, Banken und Finanzbildung praktisch aussehen kann. Außerdem behandeln wir aktuelle technische Themen wie Cursor, alte P2P-Projekte, lokale LLM-Nutzung auf Apple-Hardware sowie Tools zur Analyse großer Codebasen und zum statistischen Testen nicht-deterministischer Systeme. Im weiteren Verlauf geht es um mehrere Sicherheits- und Open-Source-Themen, darunter einen FreeBSD-Exploit, eine Schwachstelle im Arch User Repository, Systemd als CNA für CVE-Nummern und Probleme mit KI-Agenten in Fedora. Wir sprechen außerdem über Public Money, Public Code, den Umstieg auf Linux in Frankreich, Secure Boot und auslaufende Zertifikate sowie über verschiedene Hardware-, Smart-Home- und 3D-Druck-Projekte.

I'll make a bet with you. These 9,000 job cuts in the public sector that the government's announced won't happen. It's easy to say. But making it happen is a completely different story. There'll be some, for sure. But the whole 9,000? They're dreaming. Because, from what I've seen and heard so far, they are flying blind. At the moment, there are about 65,000 people working in the public service. Cutting that by 9,000 to get it closer to 55,000 is what the government wants. Nicola Willis reckons that would save taxpayers $2.4 billion. But, as well as reducing the number of workers, the government also wants departments to make better use of AI technology. And this is why these 9,000 job cuts aren't going to happen. Because the government clearly knows no more about artificial intelligence than the rest of us. I despaired when I heard Nicola Willis saying she got one of her staff to have a play with it and produced a document within minutes. It was like me thinking I could educate a 16-year-old about social media. Pretending I'm all over it. Nicola Willis isn't the only one. Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith, for example, says he doesn't quite know how AI could be deployed across the public service. He says there are “enormous opportunities right across the board, and none of us know what they are yet. Some of them will be things that we've never even thought about.” And that's the basis they're using for getting rid of 9,000 jobs over the next three years. What's more, who says we have too many public servants? Probably the ones who say we should be more like Singapore. They'll tell you that Singapore has 16 government ministries and that's what we should have too. They'll say Singapore is a similar sort of size population‑wise. Singapore has 6.1 million people. New Zealand's population is 5.3 million. But guess how many public sector workers there are in Singapore? This is what these people don't tell you. We've got 65,000. Singapore has 158,000. So, not only does Singapore have way more government workers than we do on a purely numbers basis, it also has way more than us on a percentage of the population basis. The government in Singapore is using AI. But it's pouring a truckload of money into it too. The government here isn't talking about that. Because, yes, it might save $2.4 billion in wages and salaries reducing the number of public servants, but how much is it going to have to spend on technology? Because you can't just say “get AI to do it”. You need all the systems to talk to each other. At the very least, that's where it should be starting. Instead of the finance minister coming on the radio saying she's used AI to make a document. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Donald Trump is reportedly close to settling a $1.8 billion IRS lawsuit and critics say the payout looks like a political slush fund. Anyone who feels wronged by the DOJ under the Biden administration, including all the pardoned J6ers, would be able to apply for a government payout. Trump and his family would reportedly be off-limits when it comes to IRS audits. We will explore the legal and ethical questions raised and look at what it could mean for accountability and future prosecutions. iHeart Political analyst Gary Dietrich joins the conversation. Dr. Katharine Wilkinson, a transformation voice in the world of climate change, comes bearing ideas obout how everyone of us can participate in the fight to save the planet. The Mark Thompson Show 5/18/26Today's Guests LinksDr Katharine Wilkinson - Climate Wayfinding Healing Ourselves and the Planet We Call Home https://www.kkwilkinson.com/Gary Dietrich, CBS TV & iHeart Radio Political Analyst https://twitter.com/garydietrichSubscribe for political analysis and hit the bell to get notified when we publish new videos.Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!

Billy Saas and Rob Hawkes speak with Sheridan Kates, ecological economist, activist and, at present, Green Party candidate for Islington Council in North London in the May 2026 local election. In her academic and political work, Sheridan rejects both the economics and the language of austerity, and instead prioritises democratic, inclusive, and participatory institution building. Sheridan's activism extends into a commitment to public economics education via her work with Modern Money Lab UK, which held a series of public workshops in London and then a 2-day anti-austerity conference in Bristol in 2025. As a signatory to the Greens Organise ‘Pledge to Oppose Austerity in Local Government', Sheridan both welcomes the gathering momentum behind campaigns for a UK wealth tax and argues that they do not go far enough. Amidst a new wave of excitement surrounding green politics in the UK, especially since Zack Polanski's election as Green Party Leader in September 2025, Sheridan looks to a future where our economies are redesigned democratically to put people and the planet before profit.Visit our Patreon page here: https://www.patreon.com/MoLsuperstructureMusic by Nahneen Kula: www.nahneenkula.com

In this episode of PGAP, host Michael Bayliss welcomes special guest Peter Tait, convenor of the Canberra Alliance for Participatory Democracy. Peter discusses the critical importance of citizen participation in the democratic process and how citizen assemblies have great potential in building momentum on issues such as planned Degrowth and population policy. Peter Tait has been a General Practitioner for over 40 years, 30 of them in Aboriginal health in Central Australia. He was 2007 RACGP General Practitioner of the Year and 2017 Public Health Association Australia Sidney Sax medalist. He teaches Population Health at ANU. You can find out more about the Canberra Alliance for Participatory Democracy HERE. Peter represented CAPaD at the New Economy Network Australia (NENA) conference in 2025. Did you like this episode and want to explore more PGAP episodes? We recommend the premiere episode for this season with Marcus Champ, representing Public Money, Public Good, who also presented at the NENA conference. Or listen to the NENA conference coordinator, Tiyana Jovanovic, HERE. For a slightly older episode, our interview with Mark Diesendorf explored issues referred to in this episode such as state capture of government policy. For further reading, you may be interested in Michael's blog article for Population Media Centre, which argues why large and rapidly growing populations can dilute democracy. This is explored further in my article on The Overpopulation Project: “The Planet Cannot Hold the Weight of 8.2 billion Narratives.” During the interview, Peter explains the concept of Sociocracy and its capacity to achieve consensus even with large and disperse populations. In the episode introduction, Michael reflects on his recent presentation on Degrowth at Perth's Curtin University. Aiming to engage students emotionally with Degrowth as a moral imperative, the feedback was hugely encouraging, as the below photo hopefully attests. Michael at back centre PGAP will be on a break over the next couple of months. In the meantime, Michael is offering a free Sustainable Population Mug, for every review of PGAP on Apple Podcast.

Happy Aloha Friday, beautiful people! Ku'ulei Agbayani and Michael Lasquero recap Thursday night's episode of INSIGHTS on PBS about whether or not college athletes should get paid with public money. The episode was a table discussion moderated by Yunji de Nies and featured Hawaii Football Associate HC Chris Brown, UHM Athletics Director Matt Elliott, Representative Andrew Takuya Garrett, and Senator Glenn Wakai.

Mike Stephen chats with Roya Samarghandi, chief advocacy and innovation officer at The Chicago Bar Foundation, about a new program that allows residents to get legal aid at their local library, explores the ongoing debate around public money for private schools with Chalkbeat Chicago's Reema Amin, and gets the lowdown on a local organization that helps youth enter the workforce called Leaders in Transformational Education from CEO Candace Thier.

We discuss the growing opposition to the Iran War and new data revealing the war cost $11 billion in the first week. A coalition of antiwar groups launched a national campaign on Wednesday calling for Representative Hakeem Jeffries and Senator Chuck Schumer to step down from their positions as minority leaders. We discuss news from the judiciary this week: conservative State Supreme Court Justice Annette Ziegler is not to run for a new term to the Wisconsin Supreme Court in 2027 and Brad Schimel is blocked by Tammy Baldwin from continuing as U.S. attorney in Milwaukee. We welcome Kristie Tweed, Citizen Action of Wisconsin's statewide Healthcare Coordinator to discuss the BadgerCare Public Option bills' legislative roll out last week and plans for the next month, as grassroots leaders push for more lawmakers to co-sponsor the legislation. Krisite tells us about how you can get involved in the upcoming events in Cashton, Appleton, Milwaukee, and Wausau and she provides an update on the bill's growing co-sponsorship list. The Legislature was sued by Law Forward over its billing of private attorney fees to the public. "Wisconsin taxpayers deserve to know their money is being spent lawfully to advance a valid public purpose." Milwaukee Public Schools announced they will be forced by state underfunding to slash 260 staff, as MPS Superintendent Brenda Cassellius stressed that MPS faces rising costs while receiving a $0 state increase in general aid due to the last disastrous state budget deal. As Wisconsin public school districts make cuts, the UW Athletic Department is coming to the Legislature with hat in hand looking for taxpayers to fund millions to support the UW's NIL program to pay college athletes in football and basketball.

“The foundational elements of neoliberal economics is false” – Marcus Champ Welcome to 2026 and a brand-new season of Post Growth Australia Podcast! With co-host Mark Allen on travel leave, host Michael Bayliss (with his degrowth cap on) opens the episode with some mixed feelings in welcoming the new year. Since 2025, humanity has breached planetary boundaries, shifted more of our collective wealth into the hands of oligarchs and added 70 million to the population. Each new year brings a new appreciation of the magnitude to the scale of the human enterprise, which makes turning things around that more difficult (we keep trying, however!) Our first special guest to open Season 8 of PGAP is Marcus Champ. With a professional background in psychology, Marcus is studying at the one-of-a-kind Masters of Economics of Sustainability degree through Torrens University. Along with fellow students, Marcus has started an economics advocacy group called “Public Money. Public Good.” Marcus was also a presenter at the 2025 New Economy Network Australia (NENA) conference. His presentation was titled: “Pathways through a crisis: wartime experience and lessons for the coming climate catastrophe.” In this episode, Marcus draws from his presentation to compare Australia's economy during World War II to that of our economic system today. In his words: “It's amazing how much our understanding of economics and finance has changed in the last 50 years or so.” With panache and passion, Marcus shares a new economic vision for Australia. Informed from the achievements of the past, it eschews the current neoliberal paradigm to create a future where social and environmental wellbeing is prioritised over GDP, profits for the few and endless growth on a finite planet. Post Growth Australia Podcast (PGAP) is made possible with the support of Sustainable Population Australia (SPA).

Our western (Trauma Culture) economies run on two falsehoods - we might go so far as to call them lies. The first is that economies have to grow to be 'successful'.  The second is that government spending is limited by the tax take.  That is, they need to take money in as taxes in order to spend it out into the economy.  Both of these are untrue, and understanding that they are untrue, and the political forces of ignorance and mendacity that keep them in place, is essential to our moving forward into a future that works. We cannot continue to maintain the death cult of predatory capitalism. We cannot continue with a Zombie economy that extracts, consumes, destroys and pollutes as if there were no consequences.  So what do we do? Both ecological economics and Modern Monetary Theory have been around for a while.  Degrowth theory is more recent, but it's being taken more seriously. What I haven't seen up till now is a fusion of these: a set of policy ideas worked out in which we acknowledge how money actually works, and look at how a national -or global - economy could be structured to lead us forward into a world where people and planet flourish together. I don't think this is the final destination, but it's definitely a step on the way. Our guest this week is someone particularly well positioned to answer these questions.  Colleen Schneider is a Doctoral student in Social-Ecological Economics & Policy in Vienna. Her key research areas: Ecological Economics, Environmental Justice, Monetary and Financial Systems in a Post-Growth Economy, Climate Policy.  She says, "I take a sociological and anthropological approach to understanding money as fundamentally a social relation. Money, and the monetary system (as with our economic system) are things we've created, and can create otherwise. I draw on historical examples to help understand how the institutional structure of the monetary system and our ideas about money came to be what they are, and to challenge those. [I seek to] de-naturalize money and point to ways to structure the monetary system as democratized, and (at least somewhat) localized -to realize money as a public good. I focus more specifically on how monetary and fiscal policy can be directed toward meeting human needs within environmental limits, while maintaining macroeconomic stability."So this is the focus of today's conversation.  This is a field about which I am passionate - I absolutely believe that if everyone understood how money actually works in our current world, a lot of the power inequities that we currently experience would end.  We have endeavoured to minimise the use of jargon, though we did talk about monetary and fiscal policy and I wanted to make it clear that Monetary Policy is about keeping prices stable - about using interest rates to influence inflation, that kind of thing . Fiscal policy is about the spending decisions - do we have austerity or don't we, do we fund social goods or don't we, do we decide to pour money into the military, or don't we… and the nature of taxation - what rates do we levy, what are the bands and what loopholes do we leave wide open so our friends can escape paying taxes altogether - while everyone continues to pretend that government spending is limited by the tax take. Which is nonsense. Taxation is about levelling the playing field. It's not about paying for the NHS. So there we go. Colleen spends her entire life working in this field, producing fascinating papers and a chapter in a forthcoming book that completely blew me away. So she speaks to these things far more eloquently and intelligently than I can.  Enjoy!

Today's Sports Daily covers how badly and nonsensical the Micah Parsons trade is the for the Cowboys, early season trash talking in college fb with TCU's social media account and Brian Kelly vs Dabo, & where the public money is on the NFL Week 1. Music written by Bill Conti & Allee Willis (Casablanca Records/Universal Music Group) 

Send us fan responses! Money stacked in neat piles. A charismatic speaker flashing cash. A profound message about financial sovereignty hidden beneath a flashy exterior. Don Kilam delivers a raw, unfiltered crash course on how the American financial system really works—and how most people unknowingly participate in their own financial subjugation.At the heart of Kalam's message is a revolutionary concept: your legal name functions as a business entity that can either work for you or against you. "Some people call it the straw man," he explains. "I call it the business." This distinction forms the foundation of financial freedom in a country that was paradoxically "established on not paying taxes." The irony isn't lost on Kilam, who challenges listeners to question why Americans pride themselves on freedom while submitting to multiple layers of taxation on the same dollars.The revelations continue as Kilam dismantles common misconceptions about taxes and public funding. Municipal bonds, not tax dollars, fund roads and schools. Private families—not elected officials—ultimately control and benefit from government operations. Your Social Security number, far from being a badge of citizenship, functions as "the lowest number possible" in a matrix system designed to create liability and transfer wealth from the many to the few.What makes Kilam's teaching particularly valuable is his emphasis on practical application. He doesn't just illuminate problems; he offers solutions. Operating as a "foreign national" to the corporate system allows individuals to position themselves differently within the legal framework. Understanding the distinction between enrollment and registration reveals why some groups maintain wealth while others struggle.

As of 2025, 32 states, along with Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico, have some form of school voucher or voucher-like program (such as education savings accounts or tax-credit scholarships). Seems that voucher programs are spreading across the US like hot TikTok influencer video, captivating, but ya better check your facts first! And I, unfortunately, don't think voucher programs will be retreating back into the Pandora's box of alternate education any time soon. So public school teachers and the folks that love and support them better take notice, because it's coming to a district near you. I fly solo in this quickie episode and bring you the latest on the biggest voucher program in the US so far. Texas, of course! Everything's bigger in Texas! I talk about how the program will run, how oversight will happen and the pros and cons of how this program may affect public schools. Does Texas get it right? Gotta hold for applause, for now.For a deeper dive into this topic, listen to episode 58 Public Money for Private School Choice: Who Benefits and Who Pays the Price (https://open.spotify.com/episode/2KplvYMJgMVy4wjaLnUyKw?si=dWYxKPsjTYqvqy0xw0w27w). Jen and I get in deep on the details of these programs and their consequences. Glad you stopped by for a "quickie" I hope it was as good for you as it was for me! Thanks for listening and thanks a bunch more for your support!

In this episode, Money on the Left shares audio from "The Black University & Community Currencies,” a public workshop convened by Professor Andrew J. Douglas at Morehouse College on April 25, 2025. This episode presents Part 1 of the workshop. It features an introduction by Professor Douglas and two panels. The first panel is titled “What is Public Money?” (Delman Coates, Scott Ferguson & Benjamin Wilson. The second asks: “What is the Uni Currency Proposal?” (Scott Ferguson & Benjamin Wilson). Money on the Left will release audio from Part 2 of the workshop within a few weeks' time.Description:In the late 1960s, in the context of the Black Power movement and amid calls to develop Black Studies programs at many US colleges and universities, Black student activists and radical intellectuals sought to imagine a more revolutionary "Black University," an institution or network of institutions dedicated entirely to Pan-African study and research. This workshop revisits the theory and vision of the Black University. It foregrounds questions of political economy—ranging from the theoretical critiques of capitalism and empire that inspired the Black University concept to more practical questions about financial viability and the "business model" of a revolutionary Black institution. And it considers how an emerging school of heterodox economic thinking—what has come to be known as Modern Money Theory—might inform a renewal of the Black University and its commitment to Black community building.This comes at a time of great crisis in US higher education, especially at HBCUs. Students are unsustainably indebted, encouraged to think of their education as little more than a private economic transaction or "return on investment." Schools, increasingly desperate for funding, are made to compete for private capital, often in ways that compromise their ability to serve even the nominally progressive aspects of their missions. Surrounding neighborhoods have become little more than sites of extraction, sources of low-wage labor and opportunities for land speculation, otherwise walled off from the very institutions they are made to sustain. More broadly, democratic questions about what kind of society the university is meant to serve or what kind of society we want an education for are rarely if ever addressed. Meanwhile, fascism's dramatic resurgence is renewing questions about whether Black institutions can rely on even minimal support from white society. In many ways, we appear to face some of the very same conditions that inspired the vision of the Black University more than a half century ago.What would it mean to renew the theory of the Black University? What are the challenges involved in building the Black University from within today's HBCUs? How might we reimagine the financial architecture of the university and its commitment to surrounding communities? How might new thinking about public money and banking-heterodox ideas about credit creation, public investment, jobs programs and the mobilization of community resources inform such a reimagining? How might HBCUs experiment with the creation of complementary currencies? And does this new thinking go far enough, or does it reflect simply a recommitment to the structures of domination and exploitation imperial state projects, the logic of capital, the instruments of antiblack violence that the Black University concept was always meant to expose and challenge?Visit our Patreon page here: https://www.patreon.com/MoLsuperstructureMusic by Nahneen Kula: www.nahneenkula.com

The Indy Juneteenth parade is on hold for 2025. The former Center Grove Superintendent used public money for personal expenses, according to a state investigation. The state is investigating a fatal case of ehrlichiosis, a tick disease, in Floyd County. For years Indianapolis's housing agency has struggled to serve the thousands of local, low-income residents who need stable housing – for people with disabilities the systemic issues can be amplified.

Maybe we spoke too soon. Dr. Elizabeth Strom, a professor of urban politics and policy at The University of South Florida and an editor at DRays Bay, a Tampa Bay Rays blog on SB Nation, returns to our podcast this week. Two years ago, Episode 143 to be exact, Dr. Strom appeared to discuss what then looked like a solid deal for a new ballpark in St. Petersburg. A lot has happened since - most of it not good for Rays fans, at least Rays fans that want the team to stay in the Tampa/St. Pete area. Dr. Strom spills the tea and brings us up to date in this episode.You can support Hooks & Runs by purchasing books, including books featured in this episode (if any were), through our store at Bookshop.org.

Jack Chambers, Minister for Public Expenditure, discusses the latest challenges facing Ireland's economy and reacts to calls for better scrutiny over how public money is spent.

If you had $2 million to invest in your community, how would you spend it? If you're a resident of Boston, you have until Feb. 15 to cast your vote in Boston's first city-wide participatory budget. Participatory budgeting is when residents come together to collectively decide how to spend public dollars. Bostonians can vote for up to five projects from a list of 14 ideas proposed by fellow residents. Kendra Patterson is a steering committee member of the Better Budget Alliance, a local coalition advocating for greater democratic control over Boston's budget. She joined WBUR's The Common to discuss this year's projects and the role of participatory budgets in a democracy. Greater Boston's weekly podcast where news and culture meet.

In this episode of "Transparency in Teaching," we tackle the hot topic of school choice and its potential impact on public education. On the surface, letting families decide where to spend their educational tax dollars on the school of their choice seems to make sense. But once we pull back the curtain on the consequences of this financial diversion of public funds, the idea seems more like nonsense. Are the potentially devastating effects school choice can wreak on public school resources and the people they serve worth it?
