The EconTalk episode catalogue. There’s a great app for navigating the archive.
I listen to econtalk, but “every econtalk episode” doesn’t have enough density of what I’m interested in here.
Also, I think there’s an important difference between books and podcasts in how carefully constructed and checked they are.
Eh, depends on the book (see e.g. Guzey’s takedown of Why We Sleep).
Plus most EconTalk episodes are about books the guests have written, and Russ is a fairly critical host. I’d actually wager that the epistemic quality of the median EconTalk book is higher than that of the median nonfiction English-language book.
The Great Transformation is excellent economic history, though it’s old. Lou Keep’s essay on it is a good entry point.
