The episode list on EconTalk is not a directory.
Other pages have episode lists. EconTalk should be no different. - David Youngberg 01:54, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
The article might well need improving, but, assuming podcasts are notable, this one looks notable to me based on:
So, I'm removing the prod. Cretog8 ( talk) 16:19, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
Today I almost removed the following sentence from the end of the introductory summary paragraph: "Roberts has invited popular economics Nobel recipient and New York Times op-ed columnist Paul Krugman 'many times' but Krugman has not appeared on EconTalk." My reason for removing the sentence would have been that this sentence makes EconTalk sound more biased and shrill than it actually is. Reversing a saying that Roberts has repeated a number of times, the apparent concern of this Nobel prize winner that his ideas would not receive a fair hearing "is a bug, not a feature." Also, does this information really need to be in the intro? What about all of the other potential guests who have been invited but have not responded?
EconTalk has had a wide range of guests, and Roberts has treated them with civility. However, I have concluded that this sentence is a fair representation of the way Roberts has talked specifically about Krugman in the past. This is a shame; I wish that Roberts would pull his punches enough to get this one economist to have a discussion with him on EconTalk since Krugman has played such a significant role in the response of the U.S. and the world economies to the 2008 financial crisis and its aftermath. And, I suppose that leaving this sentence in the intro does give a fair idea of the libertarian leanings of Roberts and many of his guests.
I would urge any EconTalk listener who thinks the sentence about Krugman should be moved from the intro or deleted entirely to do so, and then give a well-reasoned rationale for the move or deletion here on the talk page.

@Sophocles1,
Can you detail what sections of this article read like an advert? Squatch347 ( talk) 16:00, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
I can understand why someone might list and show a picture of Hayek and Smith when discussing EconTalk more broadly but there is little about that decision that helps Wiki readers understand the podcast and much that might lead readers to misunderstand them.
