This is a very special episode. Margot was Lev’s student and is now attending Northwestern University. She is the host of the excellent podcast Not An Expert: A Teen's Take On Life, Identity, and Politics. Margot has generously allowed us to post her most recent episode here. It is a lot of fun!
A note from Lev:
I am a high school teacher of history and economics at a public high school in NYC, and began the podcast to help demystify economics for teachers. The podcast is now within the top 2% of podcasts worldwide in terms of listeners (per Listen Notes) and individual episodes are frequently listed by The Syllabus (the-syllabus.com) as among the 10 best political economy podcasts of a particular week. The podcast is reaching thousands of listeners each month.
The podcast seeks to provide a substantive alternative to mainstream economics media; to communicate information and ideas that contribute to equitable and peaceful solutions to political and economic issues; and to improve the teaching of high school and university political economy.
Best,
Lev
