Welcome to the Alfalfa Podcast 🌾

Dive into this raw, unscripted conversation as the "Radically Moderate" crew breaks down Trump's sweeping tariff policy and its potential economic fallout with candid financial insider perspective. The hosts tackle everything from China's strategic positioning to the psychological impacts of today's political climate, while offering both biting humor and nuanced takes on masculinity, Gen Z's anti-smartphone movement, and the return of supersonic travel. Between sips of old-fashioneds and colorful anecdotes about pickleball ("dinking"), they deliver practical wisdom on navigating market volatility alongside thought-provoking discussions about what truly drives men's sense of purpose. Perfect for young professionals looking to understand how Washington's decisions affect their wallets without the partisan spin flooding your feed.
