In this first-ever crossover episode with our friends at Ceteris Never Paribus: The History of Economic Thought Podcast, François interviews our producer and former co-host Scott Scheall and CNP host and producer Maria Bach. The discussion offers a behind-the-scenes look at the origins, inspirations, and histories of both shows. The creators discuss their contrasting formats, the academic value of podcasting, and the stories behind the birth of both programs.

Çinla and Jennifer interview Aida Ramos, Professor of Economics at the University of Dallas, about her work on Jonathan Swift's economic thought, Sir James Steuart, Adam Smith, as well as Oikonomos, her new undergraduate journal in the history of economic thought.
