    No wonder they stopped doing the show
    Turns out Krugman was right. All Austrian School theories are a bunch of baloney lol
  • Mullie1
    Simplistic, lazy podcast
    A one-trick pony podcast spewing economic nonsense. Waste of time, no wonder it stopped broadcasting
  • Rnldd
    long winded and uninformative
    two guys talking about twitter gossip with a “basically...” every 5-10 minutes that you’re just supposed to trust them on, total waste of 30 min.
  • OwenGil
    Great podcast!
    Apologize for not listening lately but I can see from the descriptions that I have missed some good ones. I hope that you guys will leave them in your feed somewhere for the public to download. Just haven’t had any time and I think Krugman is pretty irrelevant now anyway since he has admitted to being wrong about neoliberal global capitalism; deficits, maybe not so much 😁. Great interplay between Tom and Bob, funny and erudite. Highly recommended. Happy thanksgiving day guys!

    No more episodes? 😭😭😭😭😭😭
    Bummed it’s over
  • bshaisowuevrbeoei
    Not based in logical or critical thought
    Woods is critical of abolition of slavery and Murphy doesn’t believe in evolution... hard to take anything seriously from people who ignore fact and reason for religious conspiracy
  • LibertySoap
    Great Run!
    Listened to every episode, thanks for a great run! Sad to see it end, but it was time...
  • bwodarek
    Had a great run!
    Thanks guys, loved the show! The deconstruction, no tear down, that krugman truly deserves!!! Gonna miss this, but it’s time. Love it while it lasted!!!
  • hors d'ici
    Love this podcast
    Very entertaining. Krugman deserves this comeuppance for the fraud he is.
  • Henry-Chinaski
    So sad to hear this
    I was looking for an interesting refusal of krugmans ideas but the arguments I heard in this podcast were simply absurd. Sorry complete nonsense
  • DareBoBear
    Droppin the knowledge
    How do you not even MENTION the salacious news about Krugman in episode 215? I hate conspiracy thinking, but I'm starting to wonder, Wow, is Paul Krugman actually bankrolling this show, with the thought that there is no bad publicity (except of course for child porn)? What gives?!? Anyway, despite that, regardless... great pod, lots of good useful knowledge. Just wish they were actual libertarians, instead of "right-leaning-" ...but ya can't have it all.

    "Economics" For Dummies
    Was expecting--at least on some level--an informed critique of Keynesianism from a Austrian School perspective. Pretty disappointing. If you're interested in a Rush Limbaugh -style ramble which relies almost entirely on "common sense" instead of informed argument, this is probably going to be your bag. Otherwise, steer clear.

    Lacking
    Would it be too challenging to present varying viewpoints with evidence? I came on to listen to your thoughts on ACA from Warren & received nothing but a couple of guys cheering for their own opinions but lacking anything but “feelings”. You can do better.
  • Buckeye1959
    Enjoying ever episode
    Binge listening to each episode from the beginning to now. Really fantastic. Tom and Bob are a blast together while illustrating great points and teaching! Love it.
  • Girmac13
    Great economics lessons
    Tom and Bob are entertaining insightful and knowledgeable. This is a need to know podcast addressing the futility and dangerous ideas propagated if today’s 10sec snip it world
  • J.Helton

    Completely idiotic in premise and content. Avoid
  • Dcorton
    I Can’t Imagine a Better Podcast Than This
    Tom Woods and Bob Murphy are excellent podcasters when on their own. They are brilliant in various disciplines and personable, real, and outright hilarious. The two together are truly a perfect match. Neither upstages the other as they work together like vinegar & baking soda (I’ll let them decide who’s who in that simile). Both are plenty useful on their own, but together the combination’s explosive. I can’t get enough. I find myself struggling to keep up with other podcasts including their own solo podcasts. I love this podcast!
  • John Corben
    Hardcore Economics at its Finest
    I love Contra Krugman. Tom and Bob have excellent banter but also stay on topic to give you a total and complete smack-down of incorrect Keynesian economics.
  • NH Dairy Farmer
    Episode 174 BEST SO FAR
    This podcast is a great mix of learning & friendly banter.

    New podcast idea
    I think you guys are going have to make a ContraCortez podcast.

    Almost makes me feel sorry for Krugman

    Wow!
    I randomly discovered this, really good!
  • aluna001
    Waste of time
    If you’re looking for a show where it’s nothing but an hour of two guys talking crap to someone by claiming they’re the smartest people in the room it’s this show. They discuss no economic theory’s that could be applied instead of the current application applied and this show is based primary on opinion that the common man can’t comprehend because not very one is on the same education level. This show is to validate your opinion and nothing else. Waste of 40 mins.
  • Zwqjrijej
    Great Show
    Love it, wish I had it when I was in college as an economics major
  • Skinsfanin661
    Krugman is a bum
    Categorically smashing Krugman’s bs is a pleasure to listen to.
  • Max20013
    Tangerine Juice
    This show gives an in-depth review to every column and blog post that Krugman puts out that isn’t similar to one Tom & Bob have dissected before. It teaches economics, a generally ‘boring’ subject while making it fun with banter and easy to understand analogies and explanations.
  • Anthony V. Ardizzone
    I Like My Libertarianism Comedic
    This podcast strikes the right balance between being informative and entertaining. It helps that Tom and Bob are two of the best libertarian authorities in the public eye today.
  • Altoman5
    One of the Best Podcasts Ever!
    Paul Krugman is a dishonest so-called intellectual who has admitted he never reads anything opposite of his views. People who still take him seriously is just as dishonest. Tom and Bob's critical analysis of Krugman's articles allows us to learn about economics and the fallacies that many other so-called economists (including Krugman) commit on a daily basis. It's great to have podcast that challenges Krugman's take on economic issues. This podcast is one of my top ten favorites of all time. This is highly recommended!
  • drews_reviews
    Great show!
    Poor, poor Krugman...
  • Msupolitical
    Awesomely awesome
    Two libertarian nerds verbally body slamming leftist krugman...awesome
  • Jack Havok
    Excellent economic theory.
    Bob & Tom tear apart Krugman with consistent ideas and logic.
  • the real Krypto Man
    Sensible Economics for a world that needs it
    I didn’t know who Paul Krugman was, thank goodness for that, until listening to Contra Krugman, before Paul could corrupt my mind. I like how Bob Murphy and Tom Woods lay out what Paul Krugman presents and then pull the rug out from his logic. There back and forth quips are quite entertaining as well.
  • BuddyDale
    All the economics you need, weekly
    Between this and the Peter Schiff Show, I cant imagine the average Joe needs any more economics and humor in their week
  • Iowa Tenther
    Breath of fresh liberating air!
    I enjoy the economics ( when Krugman writes about them ) and the humor!! Please don’t stop!
  • RealEarly
    Laughs with a lot of smarts
    Wit and humor with a lot of economic smarts that smack down liberal logic!
  • Steve12024
    mr
    The show clearly outlines the flaws in Krugman's thought process.
  • The Original Javcore
    Tom and Bob are great
    Great podcast. It's always fun listening to Tom and Bob exposing Krugman for the fraud that he is.
  • Korgrath
    Overdelivered
    Tom and Bob claim they can't solve all of my problems. They are wrong.
  • Jrhd437
    Great, But Could Be Better
    I love the dynamic of Tom and Bob. They play off of each other really well. Sometimes, though, I feel like the show skips over economics, and when Bob finally starts to refute Krugman, Tom ends the show. Still, some of their episodes are downright hilarious.
  • seanpk8
    A once a week treat
    In addition to my enjoyment, I can't count how many times I've applied what I've learned listening to this show in daily conversations. Including when my wife wondered about going on a cruise 😉
  • StrangeNative
    5/5
    Informative. And pretty funny when they are together
  • Regular Joe 00
    A Must Listen!
    Tom and Bob are fighting the evils of Krugman on a weekly basis! A must Listen! (Awkward pause) Tangerine Juice!

    Bob and Tom are great
    Do y'all say Tom and bob cause the radio show would get mad?

    Review Contra Krugman
    These guys are great. First they do a great job deflating one the most insufferable condescending buffoons in the media, P Krugman. Second they do a great job explaining economics in terms you can understand.
  • Anarcho-Catholic
    Great Info and Banter!
    Tom and Bob do a great job at dissecting the Krugman's columns and applying an Austrian approach in explaining the correct reasoning. It's great and the occasional banter between the two of them is quite entertaining.
  • ConwayAR
    Equal Parts Economics and Comedy
    Thank God for Paul Krugman. If it wasn't for his embarrassingly bad political and economic commentary, Tom and Bob might actually have to exert effort to teach economics. Instead, he provides loads of ammunition for them. And they provide endless humor in bringing a dry subject to life. A must listen.
  • wowestern
    Excellent Podcast
    While it may seem like there's no real value in paying attention to Krugman, due to his constant errors, lies, backtracks, and the Krugman Konstant (his tendency to Kontradict himself), Bob and Tom have set out on the task of correctin Krugman and calling out his numerous failings on a weekly basis. Unfortunately, one of those failings is not not really have something important or worthwhile to say, so Bob and Tom are limited in what they can achieve, because Krugman himself is extremly slippery and borish. Bob and Tom still manage to keep things fun, and I often enjoy trying to listen to how long Tom can keep it together, reading Krugman's column as a neutral observer. The show also provides musical entertainment, on occassion.
