Economics, Electoral Politics, and Elevated Real Estate Values: A Chat with Matthew Yglesias

On this installment of StudioTulsa, we speak by phone with Matthew Yglesias, one of the nation's most widely-read political bloggers and columnists. Yglesias is a business and economics correspondent for Slate in Washington, DC, where he writes the Moneybox blog. He was previously a fellow at the Center for American Progress, an associate editor at The Atlantic, and a staff writer for the American Prospect. Yglesias frequently writes about foreign policy, health care, technology, politics, and related subjects; his latest book is called "The Rent Is Too Damn High." He'll be doing a free-to-the-public reading/signing on Thursday of this week (the 27th) at 7:30pm at the Dilly Deli in downtown Tulsa (at 402 East 2nd Street). The event is jointly presented by the Oklahoma Policy Institute and Book Smart Tulsa. You'll find more 4-1-1 about this event at this page from the OK Policy website.

Rich Fisher passed through KWGS about thirty years ago, and just never left. Today, he is the general manager of Public Radio Tulsa, and the host of KWGS’s public affairs program, StudioTulsa, which celebrated its twentieth anniversary in August 2012 . As host of StudioTulsa, Rich has conducted roughly four thousand long-form interviews with local, national, and international figures in the arts, humanities, sciences, and government. Very few interviews have gone smoothly. Despite this, he has been honored for his work by several organizations including the Governor's Arts Award for Media by the State Arts Council, a Harwelden Award from the Arts & Humanities Council of Tulsa, and was named one of the “99 Great Things About Oklahoma” in 2000 by Oklahoma Today magazine.
