Show Notes

For our final episode, Omar sits down with his dear friend Lydia Kiesling to discuss something near and dear: literature. What’s it like working as a writer? How do you get your start? Make money? Deal with the advent of AI? All is discussed.
More! More! More! Today, Omar speaks with Jon D. Erickson about society’s seemingly insatiable appetite for growth. Can the scales be tipped to value qualitative expansion of the economy over quantitative?
“Is the system functioning exactly as it’s meant to?” That’s the question on Omar’s mind in today’s episode–a conversation with Jacob William Faber about the future of affordable housing.
A world without advertising? Wishful thinking. Or is it? Omar’s interrogating how and why ads weave through our lives, and if a world without them is conceivable. Today's episode features two conversations: Ryan Lough discusses his background making ads and his new film You Need This, which interrogates consumerism and hyper-capitalism, and Andrew Oswald shares his perspective as a professor of economics and behavioral science.
What does the one percent really mean? What do people get wrong when they think about their own wealth? And what the world could look like without billionaires? Omar’s asking these questions in conversation with Rachel Sherman.
