The Goods from the Woods - TEASER – Patreon Episode #19 – “Freddy vs. Jason” with Luke Jensen

This week on the Patreon, Rivers sits down with comedian, podcaster, and writer Luke Jensen to review the most butt rock slasher movie ever: 2003's 'Freddy vs. Jason'! This movie involves many characters being thrown incredible distances for some reason (???). Plus, a member of Destiny's Child does homophobia unto Freddy Krueger. It's a weird film and this is a really fun companion to it. Follow Luke on Twitter and Instagram @LukeFJensen.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - BREAKDOWN: Can $700B in Quantitative Easing Calm the Markets? CoinDesk’s Michael Casey and Noelle Acheson Discuss

Over the weekend, the Fed decided it couldn’t wait for Wednesday’s planned meeting to act, cutting interest rates to nearly 0%. It also announced $700 billion of direct capital injection through the purchase of Treasury securities and mortgage-backed debt. 

The question is whether this action can actually calm markets? So far, it’s not looking great. Within minutes, emergency circuit breakers were triggered again. Markets are down more than 9% on the day. 

In this episode, @NLW chats with CoinDesk’s Chief Content Officer Michael Casey and director of research Noelle Acheson about:

  • Why the market isn’t impressed with Fed action
  • Why no Fed response will be enough on its own to solve the health crisis and the resulting economic dislocation
  • Why we’re going to see more conversations in the coming weeks about UBI, MMT and other direct citizen stimulus
