The podcast episodes provided cover several topics related to federal regulation, including the regulation of the film and television industry, the aviation industry, and the fishing industry.

In the episode 'Why Writers Are Losing Out In Hollywood' link, the role of federal agencies like the FCC and the Department of Justice in regulating the industry, enforcing antitrust laws, and enabling or preventing consolidation is discussed as a key topic.

The episode 'Why Boeing's Top Airplanes Keep Failing' link examines the role of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in regulating and overseeing Boeing's operations.

The episode 'The Fishermen Who Could End Federal Regulation as We Know It' link discusses a Supreme Court case that could potentially overturn the long-standing 'Chevron deference' doctrine, which requires courts to defer to federal agencies' interpretations of ambiguous laws. This case is seen as part of a broader conservative effort to limit federal regulation and shift power away from the executive branch.
