Hello listeners! Lots of traveling around this episode - we talk about Jesse's recent fact-finding mission to Crown Casino in Melbourne (gambling, apparently not a good alternative to work) and we're broadcasting directly from Simi Valley, California - home of the Reagan Library. Here's a quick snap of the hotel we've been put up in I got from the outside with my cell (sorry about the quality)
Other topics of discussion include unemployment in Zimbabwe (and the third world in general), my acceptance and upcoming attendance to the annual CIS liberty and society conference (will have live blogging at the event on April 11-13th) and we respond to some viewer emails (including one from surprise celebrity listener Camilla Belle).
We also talk about the human capital project - issuing students loans not backed against existing securitisations, but future income capacities (equity, not debt based). An interesting concept, but still with many holes to iron out, I believe.
Simi Valley, by the way, is awesome and I highly recommend any listeners coming out this way to drop by the area. Sadly, however, our time is limited and we are literally catching a plane back to Canberra an hour after recording the podcast. I'm a little peeved for not being able to go out much but such is the nature of these shows that you can't have everything at one time.
A bit of trivia for this week's episode - we did actually see Camilla Belle on our way to the airport - apparently she's still doing a bit of the promo circuit around Europe for 10,000 BC, and just on her way to the UK. Anyway, she didn't recognise us immediately from the show until she matched up our voices (she had episode 1 on her Ipod). Well she said she was keen for an interview later down the track but to be honest I think it was just a polite way of giving us the thumbs down. We'll see.
