    Episode 8: A.I. (Artificial Intelligence)

    This episode was, much like the subject, a lot of ups and downs? There are reasons to be pessimistic, but it's not all despair. Heather has so much knowledge about this topic, which isn't surprising, as she seems to know a great deal about a lot of things. You can find us on various social media sites as @moronomics. Thanks for listening, and take care.

    Episode 7: Net Worth

    Our first episode inspired by a request from someone who emailed us! Heather explains net worth. Is it any good? Do we like it? How do we get it? Net worth! And now Joe is kicking himself for talking about fishing and not making a pun about "net" worth. @moronomics on youtube, X, bluesky moronomicspod@gmail.com

    Episode 6: Oil

    This episode begins somewhat bombastically, with a special one-time-only intro! Then we get down to business -- a shout-out to Jerome Powell as well as Joe's favorite fighter jet. Then we actually get down to business. Heather explains the petrodollar, oil, and the economics of all this... well, all this. Can you imagine how well a non-moron could understand everything? Well you don't have to imagine! Subscribe to Heather's substack "Everyday Economics." Also, watch the news, because sometimes Heather just shows up there!

    Episode 5: Housing

    We had a brief delay (usually we release these on Wednesdays) because this show is for fun and real life takes priority! Heather shares from her wealth of knowledge and experience about the economics of housing. In the middle (during our break for socials and plugs) she also related a touching and inspiring story from her beginnings in broadcast media. We hope you enjoy the show. We're on YouTube, X, and bluesky as @moronomics, but Joe hasn't gotten into the habit of posting at any of them yet. Email us at moronomicspod@gmail.com.
