I'm the type of guy with "favorite economists," and EPI's Jared Bernstein is one of them. So I'm glad he's doing a new podcast feature called "EconoCorner." What few folks know about Jared, however, is that before he was an economist, he was a jazz musician in New York. And because EPI doesn't have a big music budget, he composed the theme song for EconoCorner himself. Believe me when I say your life will be indescribably enriched by hearing it for yourself. Update: Speaking of economist podcasts, faux-conomist Megan McArdle has a very good podcast with Austen Goolsbee, Barack Obama's senior economic adviser. I just spent an hour with Goolsbee for an upcoming article, and I can tell you he's an interesting, engaging guy whose got Obama's ear. Well worth a listen.
