When a Triple Whammy Hits the Tomato
May 15, 2026
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 the podcast I’ve most enjoyed. From Steve Levitt’s People I (Mostly) Admire series, it was the Tim Harford interview. One of the most interesting economists, Harford has brought us Cautionary Tales, More or Less and a slew of books. The thread is the economic spin that grabs readers. Explaining his approach and how he does it made for a good listen in this Steve Levitt interview. It also included some useful advice.
