37 分钟Welcome to Macro Musings, where each week we pull back the curtain and take a closer look at the most important macroeconomic issues of the past, present and future.
I am your host, David Beckwourth, a senior research fellow at the Merketta center at George Mason University, and I'm glad you decided to join us.
Hello, macromusings listeners.
This is Sam Olberger, one of the producers of the show and the guest host for a very special 2024 Macromusings year in review episode.
David has so graciously handed over hosting duties to me today so I can ask him a couple of questions.
In today's episode, we're going to go through David's top episodes of the year, share some behind the scenes about making the show, and get David's opinion on how the year of 2024 will go down in macroeconomic history.
So now that you know what's in store, I need to bring in our guest.
He is a doctor of Economics, a champion of nominal GDP level targeting, and your normal host of Macro Musings, doctor, researcher, host, and my good friend, David Beckworth.
Well, thank you, Sam, for that very gracious introduction.
Absolutely.
David, this has been a fantastic year here at Macromusings.
We released 53 episodes, started releasing videos on both Twitter and YouTube, generated nearly a million impressions on social media, had our first active Fed president.
Join us at the Mercatus office for a recording.
How are you feeling looking back at the last year of the Macro Amusings podcast?
It's been a great year.
We've had a lot of fun, a lot of great guests.
Sam, it's been great to work with you.
You've brought a lot of energy, new ideas.
The videos that you mentioned, that was your thinking.
It's been fun to kind of push the envelope on podcasting.
