I'm on Android and use Castbox. Wouldn't recommend the free version unless you're extremely tolerant to ads. It comes with a good selection of other features (comments, recommendations, etc.) but I don't use them.

I'd also (tentatively) put PocketCasts forward. I switched to Castbox because I encountered an issue that made it unusable, but it doesn't seem like it was widespread when I was trying to find out what was wrong. Unfortunately the Support Team couldn't help so I had to leave it.

It's even hinted at in the article: "A significant connection between the parents’ level of education and entrepreneurship was also noted." The clickbait title confirming people's priors isn't surprising though.

If I had to guess at the causal graph it would something like:

smart -> income smart -> entrepreneurship entrepreneurship -> income income -> entrepreneurship

And even without the last two connections the smart confounding variable would induce a relationship between income and entrepreneurship.

This is fantastic. I spent a lot of time looking into making my own podcast feed with audio of articles but never pushed through hard enough to get it working.

It's working perfectly on desktop but I'm having some trouble on Castbox. When I navigate to the link from the QR code Castbox can't find the feed.

It's expecting companies to subsidize misguided government policies. For example, if the government restricts housing (and implements rent control) which drives up prices, why should companies pay more to make sure people can afford housing costs? How about runaway inflation?

There's always talk about market failures when many times government failures are the true causal mechanism.

After doing a ton of searching - and being extremely picky - I ended up writing a thin two way wrapper for sqlite and networkx. The only graph database that was easy to get started with that I felt comfortable using was Neo4j, and it's definitely not a sqlite equivalent.
