Daniel Kahneman on Cutting Through the Noise [audio] (cowenconvos.libsyn.com)

yes. a noise making machine.

I like Tyler Cowen's voice and find it to be expressive.

Huh? He's having a conversation. I've heard much, much worse on other podcasts. As if the interviewer has recorded all the questions and sent them to the interviewee who then answers them. I.e. no back-and-forth. No probing, no pushing back.

This conversation is far from that.

If you mean Tyler Cowen, no.

He's just quick at thinking up questions and doesn't have a tendency to insert fillers like umms and ahhs in his speech.

Tyler currently hosts one of the most interesting podcasts on the Internet, "Conversations with Tyler" [1] for people with omnivorous interests. His guest list is a who's who of the trendiest (unorthodox?) thinkers today (e.g. Vitalik Buterin, Bruno Macaes, Claire Lehmann, Nassim Taleb, Agnes Callard, Jonathan Haidt, Peter Thiel, etc.)

Topics of conversation are similarly omnivorous, from Chinese food to loneliness.

It isn't because he is not. One line of research he endorsed, priming, has failed to stand up to rigorous attempts at replication. Nearly every other aspect of behavioral economics he brought to the forefront remains intact and important.

If there are any counter points or widely known objections to his work, I’d be interested to learn more. Which body of work were you thinking of? Not being snarky, genuinely curious.
