EP29: Political Economy of the Media; Macroeconomics of War
In our April episode, we spoke with Rajeev Ravisankar, a researcher and journalist whose work focuses on the political economy of media — specifically on labor organizing in newsrooms and the growing movement toward worker-run media cooperatives. Rajeev brings a political economy framework to questions that mainstream media criticism rarely asks: who owns the news, under what conditions is it produced, and what happens when journalists organize to change those conditions. We were delighted to have him join us for a conversation about the economics and politics of the media industry. In our Dollars and Sense debrief, Chris Sturr interviews economist John Miller about the macroeconomic impacts of the war in Iran. #media #news #iran #unions *** Taki and Sirisha interview Rajeev Ravisankar - 2:20 minutes Dollars and Sense Debrief with Chris Sturr and John Miller - 28:30 minutes

EP28: Missouri's Budget, Trade Routes and War
In our March episode, Sirisha and Taki dissect the 2026 Missouri Budget. It is necessary to understand that any state budget is a document that reflects our values as a society. On the revenue side, the budget proposes to slash the progressive income tax and increase regressive sales tax. On the spending side, there would be across the board cuts except for public safety. In our Dollars and Sense debrief, Chris Sturr interviews Professor Sasha Breger Bush about U.S. foreign policy under the Trump Administration. In a key insight, Professor Bush highlights that power and access to trade routes are just as important as raw materials like oil or critical minerals. And finally, we have an extra this month: Sirisha speaks with local organizer Zachary Mueller about how to fight fascism and cultivate democracy. #mobudget #greenland #foreignpolicy *** Segment with Zach Mueller - 1:40 minutes Taki and Sirisha discuss the 2026 Missouri Budget - 19:15 minutes Dollars and Sense Debrief with Chris Sturr and Sasha Breger Bush - 38:20 minutes

EP27: Rent Control & Data Centers
In our February episode, we discuss the mushrooming of data centers in the Midwest. The growth of artificial intelligence is driving demand for computational power and the construction of data centers across the United States. Yet these data centers require massive amounts of water and electricity, which has led to concerns among impacted communities. We speak with Professor Madhumita Dutta of the Ohio State University, along with local activists Katie Currid, and Rachel Gonzalez, to better understand their growth. In our Dollars and Sense Debrief, Chris Sturr interviews Stephen Barton about all things rent control, which will be on the ballot in Massachusetts in November 2026. Tune in. #rentcontrol #ai #datacenters *** Dollars and Sense Debrief with Chris Sturr and Stephen Barton - 1:50 minutes Feature interview with Professor Madhumita Dutta, along with local activists Katie Currid, and Rachel Gonzalez - 21:47 minutes
