The Indicator from Planet Money - This indicator hasn’t flashed this red since the dot-com bubble
The “Shiller PE Ratio” is at its highest level since November of 1999. That was at the peak of the online gold rush right before the dot com bubble burst in 2000. Today on the show, we learn what the Shiller PE Ratio is, how it works and whether we should be worried that it’s relatively high right now.

Cato Podcast - What a Long Shutdown It’s Been
Romina Boccia joins Nicholas Anthony to discuss how the shutdown centers on demands to extend subsidies for earners making well above median household income—all the way up to $500,000 annually. Federal workers and SNAP recipients have been offered up as political collateral for a deal that would cause an unprecedented $1.5 trillion in additional deficit spending—all while we continue trucking toward a fiscal cliff.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Sinking of the Lusitania
On May 7, 1915, nearly a year into the First World War, the British steamship RMS Lusitania was sunk by a German U-boat off the southern coast of Ireland.
Over 1,100 people were killed, many of whom were civilians from the United States who were not participants in the war.
Although the loss of life in the attack was great, the sinking of the Lusitania stands out due to its indirect role in encouraging the United States to enter the conflict.
Learn about the sinking of the Lusitania and its impact on World War I on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
