December 26, 2017 #33: Two Economists Walk Into a Bar (LIVE!) - Luigi Zingales & Richard Holden
Former guests and F.O.T.P*, Luigi ZIngales (#24) and Richard Holden (#26), joined us at the inaugural Jolly Swagmen Christmas Party and we couldn't resist turning on the mics, firing up the crowd and hitting ‘record’!
At this live recording we discuss the impact of Amazon's entrance into Australia, the recent repeal of Net Neutrality in America and peer behind the curtain of life on the staff at famed Chicago University.
Luigi is a Professor at Chicago Booth School of Business and fierce proponent of the free market. Richard has taught at Harvard University, MIT and the University of Chicago and is currently Professor of Economics at the University of New South Wales.

December 12, 2017 #31: Discovering the ‘Sonic Crisp’ - Charles Spence
Charles Spence is the world's leading Gastrophysicist, studying the science of food and how our senses combine to create taste. He works personally with famed Michelin star chef and owner of The Fat Duck, Heston Blumenthal, and had a hand in the creation of the restaurant’s famous dish, 'Sounds of the Sea'. Charles is a professor at Oxford University where he heads up the Crossmodal Research Laboratory. He is the author of 2017 bestseller Gastrophysics: The New Science of Eating, and most impressively won the 2008 ‘Ig Nobel Prize’ for discovering the ‘sonic crisp’: the perfect volume of crunch at which a chip’s freshness and crunch can be enhanced.
The Swagmen catch up with Charles to investigate whether we can rely on our senses, how music can change the taste of beer, and the true identity of the Chilean sea bass.
