Discussions about GDP, housing and other issues seem to assume that we know quite a bit about the topic already. Most of us don't. This podcast will fill in those gaps. During each episode, an expert will guide us through a given topic, with the goal of providing enough information so we can piece together our own informed views.
Many of the speakers are working at the cutting edge of their respective fields, guiding us through both the accumulated evidence and showing us where things are likely to develop in the immediate future.
Guests that are well-regarded in Ireland and abroad have featured, including Prof. John FitzGerald (TCD), Prof. Stephen Kinsella (UL) and Prof. Michael McMahon (Oxford). Topics are diverse, with the macroeconomy, the environment, Ireland's economic history and COVID-19 all featuring.

I am joined by Lucie Martin, PhD candidate at University College Dublin, to discuss administrative burdens. If I were to distil administrative burdens into a single sentence it would be the burden created by onerous form-filling or other administrative tasks.
We all know the pain that comes with having to fill out yet another form or go through a seemingly unnecessary administrative process, but the research by Lucie and others suggests that this can create barriers for many to access certain benefits or services. Lucie takes us through the mechanisms of how this plays out.
This is one of those great podcast topics. It is something that I was previously unaware of but when the concept was explained to me, I found it instantly relatable and wanted to find out more. I hope you share the same enthusiasm!
