In-depth educational content on a wide range of topics. Research done with the help of artificial intelligence, and presented by two AI-generated hosts. Why use artificial intelligence? Minimum production time and cost per episode. The breadth of expert knowledge communicated exceeds by far what human hosts and guests could typically convey in a podcast format. Unlike traditional Text-to-Speech (TTS) services, the experimental AI powering the virtual hosts develops an independent understanding of the input information before generating speech. While the resulting voices do not match the quality of those produced by services like ElevenLabs, the AI’s ability to generate dynamic dialogues between two virtual hosts is a distinctive feature. However, it can occasionally misinterpret the correct vocal tone. Apologies for the occasional virtual hosts with inconsistent speeds and volumes. The podcast player app Overcast, with its Voice Boost feature, is helping. Some episodes refer to the provided sources or text. These are the deep research analysis provided to the AI managing the virtual hosts. Available on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Boomplay, Castbox, Castro, Deezer, iHeart, Overcast, Player FM, Pocket Casts, Podbean, Podchaser, Spotify and others.

The provided sources offer a comprehensive historical overview of U.S. tariff policy, tracing its evolution from the nation's founding to the present day. They categorize this history into distinct periods: the early republic, where tariffs primarily generated revenue and sparked sectional strife like the Nullification Crisis; the Gilded Age, characterized by high protectionism and notable acts like the McKinley and Dingley Tariffs; and the post-World War II era, which saw a shift towards reciprocal trade agreements and more targeted protectionist measures, often justified by national security concerns. The text highlights recurring themes such as the tension between revenue generation and industrial protection, the tendency of tariffs to provoke international retaliation and unintended consequences, and the powerful political economy of concentrated benefits overriding diffuse costs. Ultimately, the sources illustrate that while specific applications of tariffs have changed, the fundamental debates surrounding them persist.
