The podcast episodes discuss different aspects of lending practices and their impact on various sectors of the economy.

For example, one episode examines the lending practices of auction houses and lenders in the art market, where valuable artworks are used as collateral for loans. Another episode mentions that stricter lending practices have contributed to a decline in foreclosures during the pandemic.

Additionally, an episode contrasts the effects of lending for productive business investment, which fuels growth, versus lending for asset speculation and consumption, which can lead to booms and busts.
