He characterizes tariffs as a potentially costly geopolitical weapon with uncertain strategic benefits. 1015-1030 Tariffs as a Consumer Tax and the Inflationary Impact Guest: Professor John Cochrane Professor John Cochrane explains that tariffs effectively function as a tax on American consumers and create a temporary bump in inflation throughout the economy.

PREVIEW: London Protests: Analyzing Motive Beyond Information and Propaganda Guest: Joseph Sternberg Joseph Sternberg analyzes London protesters waving Palestinian flags, noting they are mainly British citizens of South Asian heritage. He cautions that while they may be uninformed about the war's specific contours or exposed to Hamas propaganda, their motivation is not an "information problem." Sternberg concludes they are motivated by the fundamental fact that they "don't like Israel," suggesting this is the core issue they are "very informed about."

Welcome to Episode 106 of Tablesetters. Steve and Devin break down a week where baseball's future, present, and past all collided. MLB has approved a challenge system for balls and strikes beginning in 2026, officially bringing robo-umps into the big leagues in a way that could change strategy and pacing forever. At the ownership level, the Rays sale was approved, ending the Sternberg era but leaving all the familiar ballpark questions behind. On the field, collapses define September. The Mets' fade feels like history repeating itself, while the Tigers are flirting with a collapse of historic proportions. Meanwhile, the AL MVP race has turned into a showdown: Judge's all-around dominance vs. Raleigh's power surge and pursuit of 60 homers. It was also a week of milestones and goodbyes as Mike Trout hit his 400th career homer, Clayton Kershaw announced his retirement after 18 seasons, and the first wave of teams punched postseason tickets. And for fun, we ask: if NFL stars had MLB equivalents, who matches the power, disruption, and impact we see every Sunday? Episode 106 is about the changing shape of the game, the weight of September, and the legends who still define baseball's story.

I denne episoden av Filmfrelst snakker vi om Morocco (1930) – en av mange filmer som regissør Josef von Sternberg laget med Marlene Dietrich i hovedrollen – som nå er aktuell med visninger på Cinematekene. Selv om Dietrich på midten av 1920-tallet etablerte seg som skuespiller i hjembyen Berlin, med små stumfilmroller og på teater, var det med hovedrollen i von Sternbergs Der blaue Engel (1930) at karrieren virkelig skjøt fart. De to hadde en umiddelbar kjemi, og allerede samme år ble Dietrich invitert til Hollywood av Paramount, der Morocco ble den første av seks filmer duoen gjorde for studioet. I samtalen nedenfor setter vi fokus på nettopp Morocco, som vi også plasserer i en filmhistorisk sammenheng og diskuterer i lys av dens mange påfallende visuelle og tematiske kvaliteter. Vi ser også nærmere på hvordan Dietrich (ved siden av Gary Cooper i den andre hovedrollen) fyller lerretet med sin usedvanlige karisma og selvsikre identitet. Og underveis kommer også dette spørsmålet til overflaten: er Morocco egentlig en mer interessant film enn Casablanca (1942), som den har mange fellestrekk med? Ved mikrofonene sitter Karsten Meinich og Erik Vågnes. God lytting!

Sternberg concludes that these major economies are too large for a traditional IMF bailout, implying they must address their fiscal challenges internally to avoid a financial crisis. 1850 BANK OF ENGLAND

PREVIEW: IMF BAILOUT: Colleague Joseph Sternberg of WSJ comments on the hypothetical that the IMF moves to bailout the debt-laden economies of London. More. 1901 THE ROYAL EXCHANGE AND THE BANK OF ENGLAND Comment on Excerpt from "P-STERNBERG-IMF-9-2.mp3": This segment introduces a significant debate concerning the International Monetary Fund (IMF) potentially bailing out the French and British governments. The idea is presented as if these major economies were small countries like Argentina, struggling and "out of whack". Joseph Sternberg explains the necessity and purpose of this debate, ultimately clarifying that both France and Britain are considered "too big to be bailed out" by the IMF. The segment sets the stage for understanding why such a notion, despite its apparent unfeasibility, has become a topic of discussion in London and Paris. Comment on Excerpt from "P-STERNBERG-IMF-9-2.mp3": This excerpt clarifies why the notion of an IMF bailout for France and Britain is largely symbolic rather than practical. The reality is that these countries are "far too big" for the IMF to realistically bail them out, despite its approximately one trillion US dollars in lending capacity. This capacity is sufficient for smaller economies like Pakistan or Greece, as seen 15 years ago with the Greek bailouts. However, for economies ranked as the sixth and seventh largest globally, with immense debt piles, the IMF cannot provide meaningful external assistance. Therefore, the crux of the debate in these countries is not about the feasibility of a bailout, but rather about the "policy conditions" the IMF would impose if such a bailout were to occur.

In this episode of our Gloria Grahame Acteurist Oeuvre-view episode, our protagonist is rudely shoved into the background of the movies, barely appearing in Josef von Sternberg's Macao (1950) (she would have liked to have appeared in it even less) and playing a rote schemer in David Miller's Sudden Fear (1952). The movies themselves don't make up for her under-use, despite the amiable pairing of Robert Mitchum and Jane Russell in the former and the great Joan Crawford sobbing her way to an Oscar nomination in the latter. We do our best to articulate what went wrong for us, before turning our attention to James Gunn's Superman (2025) in our Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto segment.

Migrant hotels and Labour. Joseph Sternberg 1941

I had Marc Sternberg on today, and it was a very interesting podcast, a little different than what I normally do. Marc contacted me, wanting to interview me for the documentary he's working on titled "Cowgirls: The Women of Western Art."Marc had seen a show that was about cowgirl art at Western Spirit: Scottsdale's Museum of the West, and he was wondering why an exhibit focusing on women was separated from everything else. He just didn't understand why it had to be an entirely separate exhibit. That experience led him down this rabbit hole of women in Western art and he jumped in head first as any inquisitive creative person does when they get that nugget of information that really makes them invested in something new.  Marc goes "Well, I think maybe I should do a documentary on it." So he's working on this film now and he's interviewing some of the top women in the Western art space.Like I said, it's a little different because he wanted to interview me and I wanted to interview him. So we just kind of interviewed each other. You get this great talk about the film and what he's doing and what he's hoping to accomplish. Then I flip it on it's side and let him interview me on questions that he has that are pertinent to his documentary.So it's an interesting podcast that covers a lot of ground. Not only cowgirl art, but women artists in general. But I had a great time, very fun and, you know, I think if you are interested in this dialog, you will find it fascinating.Watch the trailer for "Cowgirls: The Women of Western Art" here:https://vimeo.com/1100188514
