Kathryn Anne Edwards and Robin Rauzi

America at 250: Case for the Defense

June 30, 2026 3:30am 52 min

It’s the United States’ semiquincentennial … and one of us is not feeling it. The other is literally carrying a flag in her bag — and that’s just her road flag. Kathryn Anne Edwards makes her case for optimism right now:...

Optimist Q&A: The AI Bubble, the Rapture, and Free Lunch

June 23, 2026 3:30am 52 min

We can’t give financial advice. Or feedback on your 20-page tax proposal. But economist Kathryn Edwards did take a run at nearly 20 listener questions in under 60 minutes. Among them: Why care about birth rates if robots...

Inflation Risk is the Wrong Recession Lesson

June 16, 2026 3:30am 49 min

This might be the most dangerous economic assertion circulating today: the high inflation from 2021-2023 was caused by government stimulus. The talking point on the right goes: the third COVID-era stimulus checks landed ...

Make the Economy Work for Freelancers, Too (#askingforafriend)

June 09, 2026 3:30am 48 min

Thirty million Americans, more or less, work for themselves. They freelance, do gig work, have solo LLCs, or — as a certain economist says — participate in “ non-employee employment.” The economics of their situation is ...

About That College Grad Who Can’t Find a Job…

June 02, 2026 3:30am 58 min

(Originally aired 7/1/2025) Newly minted college graduates are having a harder time landing that first job than in recent years. Is it AI? Is college useless? Is it a crisis? (No. No. And not yet…) College graduates unde...

Should We Cherish the Ultra-Wealthy? (a.k.a. ‘The Cornfield’)

May 26, 2026 3:30am 42 min

A certain kind of wealthy American has been griping out loud lately — about taxes, about progressive cities, about how unappreciated they are for the jobs they create, the stuff they buy, and the tips they hand out. A na...

No Overtime for the Supervisor of Sandwiches

May 19, 2026 3:30am 48 min

It wasn’t just hourly factory jobs that were supposed to come with a 40-hour workweek. Even salaried jobs were supposed to get overtime pay, though very few do do anymore. Overtime protections are the only legal mechanis...

Can the U.S. Go ‘Cashless?’

May 12, 2026 3:30am 44 min

Cash is dirty, inconvenient, and so last century. Some 70% of Americans under age 50 think its days are numbered. But we still need those greenbacks, if as an alternative to banks. More than 4% of households are “unbanke...

The 2026 Economy: Make it Make Sense

May 05, 2026 3:30am 58 min

Consumer sentiment is in the basement. Jobs aren't being added. Prices keep climbing. GDP barely grew at the end of 2025, and a ‘meh’ 2% last quarter. Shouldn’t this be a recession? Not so far. Economist Kathryn Anne Edw...

Progress is a Long Game

April 28, 2026 3:30am 49 min

(Originally aired 5/06/25) What sparks progress? The right political conditions? Social pressure? Economic upheaval? In response to two listeners’ questions, we say… both none of those and all of the above. As an example...

The Great Wage Stagnation

April 21, 2026 3:30am 46 min

Average U.S. wages have barely budged since the early '80s — and if you account for today's labor force being older and more college-educated, wage growth basically disappears. Economists have cycled through explanations...

Tax Reform Gone Wild

April 14, 2026 3:30am 45 min

From California to Washington to New York, states are trying to tax the very rich. The press keeps rehashing whether millionaires and billionaires will flee those states. Wrong question. The more important one is why we’...

Nobody's Pulling Up Stakes Anymore

April 07, 2026 3:30am 45 min

Americans used to move a lot in search of opportunity. But in 2024, the share of Americans who moved at all hit a 76-year low. Barely 2% of us moved across state lines. Some of that is by choice: people are more rooted, ...

The Optimists Have Questions…

March 31, 2026 3:30am 54 min

Fourteen questions. Zero softballs. Listeners from Tacoma to Montreal wrote in to ask about retirement savings, taxing capital gains, home-buyer assistance programs, corporate profits in the tariffs era, what one state e...

Corporate Profits Are Up. Their Tax Bill Should Be Too.

March 24, 2026 3:30am 42 min

The corporate income tax rate got hacked nearly in half by the 2017 Tax Cut and Jobs Act. So nine years later, how’s that working out? Corporations’ effective tax rate (about 9%) is lower than what the average American h...

If AI Gets Hired, America Can Handle It

March 17, 2026 3:30am 51 min

Switchboard operators. Typists. Secretaries. Lots of factory workers. The economy has a long history of technology slowly eliminating not just jobs but entire occupations. The U.S. also has a long history of not doing a ...

Boomers Didn’t Ruin Everything. Really.

March 10, 2026 3:30am 49 min

The popular narrative is that baby boomers rode cheap houses and 401(k)s to wealth, dismantled the welfare state behind them, and left everyone else to fight over scraps. But conflating boomers and conservatives lets the...

Can $1,000 at Birth Make Us a Country of Savers?

March 03, 2026 3:30am 48 min

“Trump Accounts” might evoke the president’s other side hustles, like gold-plated mobile phones or meme crypto coins. But these investment accounts for children are one of the actually beautiful things to come out of the...

Social Security Upgrades for Retirement's Realities

February 24, 2026 3:30am 57 min

Economist Kathryn Anne Edwards is a Social Security fan girl. Would it be possible for her to love it even more? Yes, if the old-age insurance program got some updates to handle the messy, gradual and interrupted way tha...

What The Actual Fed.

February 17, 2026 3:30am 52 min

The Federal Reserve is in the news constantly these days. Beyond the regular will-they-or-won’t-they question on interest rates, there are multiple legal battles with implications for the central bank’s independence, Pre...
