On this week’s Macrodose we bring you our second and final holiday special before we return to the regular show next week. We’ve picked 3 more of our favourite stories from the last year. First, should we worry about government debt (0:44)? Second, is Brexit to blame for food shortages (7:37)? And finally a look at the real environmental cost of cryptocurrencies (14:28).
