Loved The Trade Guys and have always found them, for years, to be factual and present rational information. In the last episode they went on a rant about buying U.S. bourbon to stick it to the EU and Canada and mocking Canadians for not buying U.S. whiskey (like they can’t import from… the EU?). So you want it both ways - market access for the U.S. but also protectionism? Also referenced people “blowing up” Tesla dealerships which is absolutely dnon factual. Pretty telling they’re angry about that but not about public services being illegally gutted and laws broken. Do better.

Great Podcast! If the USA is going to match other countries tariffs, should the tactic be to negotiate to cancel their tariffs? We have the buying power. Matching their tariffs will create more inflation around the world, doesn’t make any sense… I am in finance dealing with 25% tariffs since 2018, my USA small company pays these tariffs, we had to increase our product prices to stay in the market.

A thoughtful, concise and informative podcast. Count me in as a fan. The talks are timely and even a reasonably educated layman can understand the points Bill and Scott are making. A big plus: 30 or so minutes per podcast - very easy to digest!

I really appreciate this show, and I find it to be highly educational. I’m certainly a fan of Bill. I also find H. Andrew Schwartz to be the secret sauce that makes this podcast flow. Emily is also a powerful contributor. This is a crucial content area where we need more informed discussion like this, and Bill and Scott never disappoint. It’s always a good listen.

Bill & Scott #1 fangirl here. This podcast is by far my favorite. Thank you to the team at CSIS for putting together this phenomenal content. No other podcast does this good a job of translating policy into real world impacts.

As title

Great podcast, I’ve learned so much since I started listening last fall, I credit this podcast for my A in economic negotiations last semester

Awesome podcast. The trade guys are VERY knowledgeable and they know how to educate an audience while entertaining it!

Expert and funny analysis of topical trade news. Indispensable.

This podcast is the best trade policy podcast out there. Scott and Bill are not only a well of knowledge on the topic, but it’s the way both interact and narrate the discussion that’s addictive. You play one episode, which is is usually ~ 20-30 min, and you don’t event know when the time fly. I was also part of their crush course on trade policy and I definitely recommend anyone interested to take it.

My husband and I are big fans of The Trade Guys and listen to every episode. However, we find this current replacement for Andrew make it virtually impossible to listen. Her “little girl/baby voice” just doesn’t work. I’m all for giving women an opportunity, but this one is hurting the podcast.

The perfect podcast for new learners in the sector as well as more experienced people as well in order to grasp the current conversations in the industry!

They did give me a good laugh when they called Biden a foreign policy expert who knew China. Free trade and economic capitulation is their mantra.

Nasty Attitudes

The Trade Guys brings down-to-earth a balance of technical, economic, and political aspects of trade. They cover items in the news, like the trade restrictions and tariffs of early 2020, and both explain the true impact as well as the economic implications. Importantly, they bring great guests and I love the banter and personalities- makes this a joy to hear each week!!

Also u fortunately an erratic posting schedule

Amazing podcast with great information!

A must listen when they stick to trade. The two trade guys are 5 Stars. Very informative. The TWO trade guys are great.

I just love this podcast absolutely excellent and for all of those trump snowflakes that don’t like it well tough

No balance - none of their guests like Trump’s trade policies.

Great guests. The host is operating on the level of a 6th grader in every way, with seemingly no background in international affairs or trade.

The trade guys makes an important timely conversation on international trade interesting and fun.

Great guests, great commentary and extremely insightful from a finance, policy and personal perspective. Keep them coming guys and thank you for doing this!!!

The host is smart, funny and loves to coax the Trade Guys into explaining complex issues in a fun, engaging way. Highly recommend.

Great stuff guys keep the episodes coming!!

Bill and Scott do a great job of bringing complex topics down to the layman’s level of understanding. Great podcast!

Who knew international trade could be this much fun?
