For the most part, when people think of crunching numbers, they imagine charts and graphs. Today on the podcast, we’re exploring unusual ways to look at—or rather, listen to—data. Sound can perhaps present information with more urgency and clarity than a visualization. Since this is Foreign Affairs, and we’re nottracking u-boats underwater, we decided to apply the data sonification technique to some somewhat obscure data sets - including the Cheeseburger Index. Listen in as Matt Kenney describes the creation process and Nick Colas dissects the numbers.

The Sound of the Economy: Data Sonification and the Cheeseburger Index

With China slumping, energy prices collapsing, and nervous
consumers sitting on their hands, growth has ground to a halt almost
everywhere, and economists, investors, and ordinary citizens are starting to
confront a grim new reality: the world is stuck in the slow lane and nobody
seems to know what to do about it. 
Listen in as Larry Summers, Zachary Karabell, and Anne Kreuger discuss the
dangers, risks, and opportunities of slow growth and what, if anything, there is to do
about it.
