Views from the Crow’s Nest

In this episode of The Mess Haul, we unpack three current topics from other publications, grappling with questions like: 

• What do the FED's efforts to tamp down consumer price inflation mean for 2022?
• What happens when a crypto crowdfund called a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) goes head-to-head with "legacy" investors in an auction for a first-edition printing of the U.S. Constitution?
• As more than just white-collar jobs come to depend on internet access, what are some ways to address the problem of connectivity inequity?

The Mess Haul features a more free-form conversational approach with multiple participants than our more interview-focused style. This format is designed to generate quick takes on a handful of recent topics, facilitating shorter, more opinionated discussion with a number of different perspectives. Each episode of The Mess Haul is recorded, edited, and released in the same day.
