It was probably too much to expect Erin Murphy to maintain such a high standard of performance for a weekly podcast for very long. I do hope that she is able to return to the mic soon, perhaps on a fortnightly basis. The Asia policy community in DC needs this podcast.

I listen to many CSIS, CFR, Brookings, Economist, and other podcasts. None are comparable to Echonomics in terms of the concentrated volume of clear, factual information conveyed per minute in every podcast. It is difficult to imagine how much time must go into ideating, researching, composing, interviewing, analyzing, editing, and recording each podcast. The interplay between geopolitics, international finance, economics and other factors is highly informative, while being presented in a compelling and fascinating manner.

It’s so important to understand how various phenomena developed with the benefit of hindsight. These producers do a great job. I look forward to a lot more content from them. Keep it up!
