Song Exploder - The Flaming Lips – Do You Realize??
The Flaming Lips formed in Oklahoma City in 1983. Over the last four decades, they’ve put out 16 albums. In 1999, they put out their album The Soft Bulletin, and that brought them a new level of success. And then, in 2002, they followed it up with Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, which was their biggest album to date. Pitchfork named it one of the top 5 albums of the year, Stereogum called it one of the best albums of the decade, and they won a Grammy. And the biggest song from the album was "Do You Realize??" So, for this episode, I talked to Wayne Coyne and Steven Drozd about how that song was first imagined. You’ll hear the very first demo Wayne recorded for the song, and the demo he and Steven put together later, on their way to making the final version with producer Dave Fridmann.

Over 2 billion people rely on polluting fuels to prepare meals, the UN Secretary-General warns at a summit on clean cooking in Africa. We hear from a young female environmentalist in Malawi with a solution. Calls for an end to the abuse of power in Tunisia after a police raid on the Tunisian Bar Association headquarters and the arrest of two prominent lawyers. And a Ghanaian influencer speaks out on plans to tax income earned on international platforms.

Why does Biden want this? What could it mean? And what do the very interesting primary results last night suggest about the state of the Republican party in particular? Give a listen.

Time To Say Goodbye - Macklemore and Biden’s polling problems
Hello!
This week we talk about something we meant to discuss last week — Macklemore’s new song “Hind’s Hall,” and politics in music and literature. There’s some Immortal Technique, the Coup, and Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young thrown in there too. We also talk about the pretty bad polls that came out for the Biden campaign, which showed him losing in some weird ways in battleground states and took a deeper look into the crosstabs, always the more interesting part of any poll.
thanks as always for listening!

Hayek Program Podcast - “Living Better Together” — On Culture and Economics
On this episode of the Hayek Program Podcast, we continue the Living Better Together miniseries, featuring select authors of Living Better Together: Social Relations and Economic Governance in the Work of Ostrom and Zelizer (Palgrave Macmillan, 2023) and hosted by its coeditor, Stefanie Haeffele.
Joining us today are Carolina Dalla Chiesa and Crystal Dozier. Together, they mesh Ostrom and Zelizer’s approaches and highlight the importance of using interdisciplinary methods to better understand economic exchanges. Carolina focuses on the symbolic meanings of money and economic governance, while Crystal explores archaeological studies of non-market societies. They both articulate how their unique backgrounds and research focus contribute to a richer dialogue between economic sociology and institutional economics.
Carolina Dalla Chiesa is Assistant Professor of Cultural Economics and Organizations in the Department of Arts and Culture at Erasmus University Rotterdam. She is currently a Mercatus James Buchanan fellow. Check out her chapter, “‘Circuits of Commons’: Exploring the Connections Between Economic Lives and the Commons.”
Crystal Dozier is Associate Professor and Archaeologist in the Fairmount College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Wichita State University. She is an alum of the Mercatus Adam Smith Fellowship. Check out her chapter, “Testing Circuits of Commerce in the Distant Past: Archaeological Understandings of Social Relationships and Economic Lives.“
