The Wasted Wanderers theme, as an animated adventure. JD hits record, the mixer sparks, and his compass drags the two of us through every story we've covered: rogue robots, a bull-versus-bear brawl, flying gold bars, floating parliaments and one very expensive toothbrush. Two minutes, no words, press play.
The wanderers

Co-host · Bay Area, CA
JD is the resident geek. He covers tech and economics, reads the earnings call so you don't have to, and brings a libertarian streak to every argument about markets and regulation.
