I listened to this podcast multiple time, and found it quite hard to follow.

I don't have a heavy background in finance, but in general I have a good enough understanding of the subject. In this case however the language was somehow making it harder than usual.

Any specific parts you’d like to understand better? I’m sure someone here is well versed in this topic.

I’ve listened to that episode (after another recommendation here, a few days ago).

Didn’t find it very informative or good. The podcast discussion was opinionated and obtuse.

Everyone should listen to this podcast. It is short and informative. I've learned a lot about the difference between fiscal and monetary policy.
