Podcast Episode #153 – Rudy Havenstein and the True Costs of Inflation

Listening to this, it just hit me. We are both B5 fans and after Jerry Doyle left Hollyweird, he became a radio personality. As I recall, he started his radio career in 2004. During the 2007/2008 collapse, he did a series of explanations on what was going on, with a great, “average joe”, on the street commentary style, that was easy to grasp. He’d said many times that he’d spent a decade on Wall Street before becoming an actor and was a pilot. You guys talking about Bernanke reminded me of Doyle making fun of Henry “Hank” Paulson. He called him “Shifty” Paulson because he couldn’t stand still during press conferences and, when he walked, Doyle called it was a “perp walk.” I hadn’t thought about this in years. I was always listening to his broadcasts (podcasts before they were named as such) while riding the bus into downtown Austin for work (when I was living in TX). If you ever get the opportunity to find his radio back catalog, out there, somewhere, it’s great. He was fantastic and, eventually took over Michael Savage’s slot after Savage sued TRN. I also remember Doyle getting banned from Fox & Friends because he wore an “Arrest Paulson” t-shirt on camera. LOL!
