December 2025 Friday’s e-links: An Interesting Journalist

Every once in a while, (and sometimes each day) I listen to a great podcast, enjoy an article, or see a good video that I want to share with you. These are my e-links.

This week, I recommend listening to the podcasts and reading the articles from Axios journalist Emily Peck. For years, I’ve enjoyed her topic selection and comments but never thought to include her as an e-link. On Slate Money, she is the clarifier that truly explains an economic idea or term. But even more crucially, she investigates topics that are slightly offbeat and interesting. For the Slate Money Numbers Round, Emily, for example, selected 19.8 because it was the average bar tip at 2 a.m. Or, in a recent interview, she talked with WSJ ‘s Heather Haddon about how a drone can speed up the drive thru. Similarly interesting, in a recent article, she told us why men are doing more childcare.

Now, I am looking forward to tomorrow’s walk because I can listen to the weekly Slate Money podcast.
