In this episode, macro analyst Chris Whalen joins Milk Road Macro to expose the uncomfortable truth behind the U.S. financial system: inflation is no accident, it’s the plan. We dig into how the Fed became a hostage to politics, why the Treasury market is one bad move away from collapse, and why gold might outperform Bitcoin in the coming storm.

In this episode of Milk Road Macro, we’re joined by macro wizard and chart-whisperer Caleb Franzen to break down why these rate cuts are different, how to read real-time inflation, and why technicals beat headlines. If you think the Fed, CPI, and labor data tell you what’s coming, you’re already late. Caleb shares his top signal for stacking Bitcoin, the one chart that’s flashing “bullish,” and why asset prices are the most honest signal in macro.

The Fed is stuck. Inflation won’t die. The labor market is cracking. And Congress? Still on a spending spree. In today’s episode of Milk Road Macro, economist Samim Ghamami (ex-SEC, ex-Fed, ex-Goldman) joins us to break down what happens when both fiscal and monetary policy stop working, and why it could lead to a stagflation spiral the Fed can’t escape.

In this episode, we sit down with Quinn Thompson (founder of Lekker Capital and macro strategist) to unpack why global bond yields are exploding, how the Fed is trapped between inflation and recession, and why gold and Bitcoin might be the only lifeboats left. Governments are still spending like it’s 2020, but nobody wants to buy their debt anymore. So what happens when the world’s largest borrower runs out of buyers?

In this episode, we sit down with economist and prediction market pioneer Robin Hanson to explore how betting markets could completely transform decision-making, from government data to crypto governance, and even central banking. Prediction markets don’t care about credentials; they care about truth. So why aren’t they everywhere? And what does crypto have to do with it?

The macro landscape is on fire, inflation’s back, unemployment is creeping up, and nobody can agree if we’re in inning 3 or staring down the top. In this episode, Kyle Reidhead joins us to break down what the hell is really going on. Are we heading for a blowoff top, a soft landing, or just vibing sideways while AI eats the world? We talk rate cuts, stablecoins, digital asset treasuries, and why this time might be different (even if that phrase terrifies smart people).
