Planet Money - Never have I ever

The world of economics has these two different sides. One one side, there are the economists in their cozy armchairs and dusty libraries, high up in their ivory towers. On the other, there's the messy world we're all living in, where those economics are actually playing out.

Sometimes, researchers will write about something that they themselves have never actually experienced. Sure, they've thought about it, theorized, come up with smart analyses...but that's not the same as getting out of that armchair and into the real world.

So, in this episode, we play our own version of Never Have I Ever. We dare two researchers to go places and do things they have never done before, in hopes of learning something new about the economic world around us.

(Okay, fine, it's maybe more like Truth or Dare...but go with us here.)

Today's episode was hosted by Alexi Horowitz-Ghazi and produced by Emma Peaslee with help from Willa Rubin. It was edited by Sally Helm, fact checked by Sierra Juarez and engineered by Maggie Luthar. Alex Goldmark is our executive producer.

Scary. Reset talks to Dr. Lisa Thompson, an attending physician of Pediatric Ophthalmology at Cook County Medical Center, and Dr. Noreen Shaikh, an optometrist at Lurie Children’s Hospital, to understand the way screen time is affecting children’s eyes.

The Gist - Beaten To Protect Democracy

Aquilino Gonell was a Capitol Hill Police Officer who, on January 6th, was beset upon by an angry mob then all but abandoned by officialdom in the aftermath. He's out with his story in a new book, American Shield: The Immigrant Sergeant Who Defended Democracy. Plus, election day shows the U.S. wants their rights, but not a revolution. And Donald Trump actually is doing much better than predicted with black Voters. Could it be the mug shot?

CoinDesk Podcast Network - MONEY REIMAGINED: Media in Flux | Journalism’s Transformation Under the Internet and AI Tsunami

The challenges of crypto journalism ( journalism as a whole) and the necessity of holding key players accountable cannot be understated, as journalists grapple with the complex dynamics of a transforming industry.

This episode is sponsored by CME Group and PayPal.


In today's episode of "Money Reimagined," hosts Michael Casey and Sheila Warren delve into the crucial role the press plays in shaping public perception of emerging technologies. They discuss the ongoing evolution of journalism, influenced by tech monopolies and the impact of social media, that underscores the need for adaptability and a commitment to fair and balanced reporting. Furthermore, blockchain's potential to establish trust in journalism through immutable records and provenance of information holds promise, even as the limitations of blockchain analysis and AI in understanding intricate financial data remain evident. 

In the age of decentralization, journalists play a vital role in safeguarding the public interest and revealing conflicts of interest in blockchain. Outlets like CoinDesk offer comprehensive coverage and expert insights on AI and decentralized technology. In this digital era, Casey and Warren stress the ongoing importance of journalistic integrity and ethical standards, especially as AI gains prominence.
