On the latest episode of The Charles C. W. Cooke Podcast, I eschew my monologue and instead chat about the demise of Silicon Valley Bank with someone who knows what he’s talking about: the economist, John H. Cochrane, who is the Rose-Marie and Jack Anderson Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, a co-host of the show Goodfellows, and the author of the Grumpy Economist blog.

After that, I talk to Henry Oliver, of The Common Reader, about whether literature students at Harvard are capable of reading, whether it’s a problem that people want to shave the edges off Shakespeare, and how long copyright terms should be for authors.

During this week’s episode, I was chased around the room by a harp. Subscribe here, or you will be too.
