Economist Kathryn Anne Edwards and co-host Robin Rauzi talk about the fundamentals of the economy and how to build a better future one problem and solution at a time. Our premise is that the United States has a remarkable economy — and yet for tens of millions of Americans it is not performing up to its potential. It could be more open to aspiring workers, less hostile to change, safer for workers, less risky for retirees, and so on. ✨ Support the podcast at: optimisteconomy.com ✨ Ask questions ...

A Breath of Optimistic Air

Optimist Economy found me in my TikTok FYP and immediately grabbed my attention with insightful sound bites but the full length episodes have really hooked me; I’ve probably sent ten episodes to friends to listen to as I find the discussions about policy and economics capturing things that we are all intrinsically feeling but have struggle articulating. It’s also so refreshing to hear that many of our (societally self-imposed) economic problems have simple, within reach solutions if we demand them! Highly recommend for those who want to hear a blend of policy, economics, and humor.

Super reasoned conversations, treated with clarity and an ability to explain the toughest concepts in an easy way. Love the questions and answers, I find myself wondering a lot of the same things.

The best!!!

Katherine Anne Edwards is the best host, especially because she sticks up for the people for Ohio while calling out Kasich for being a terrible governor without saying his name. Robin is fantastic, too. Both of these hosts deserve spiritual and financial sponsors. I hope Katherine continues to enjoy her big piggy house (inside joke).

This podcast makes me laugh (always), but also teaches me new things about the economy. Katherine explains things so well and makes it very relevant to my daily life. Highly recommend!!
