Hey Ira, I love the show and always seem to come away with something meaningful from each episode, which unfortunately seems to be becoming a rare phenomenon with modern entertainment. Why do you think "candy floss" tv like Housewives or Honey Boo Boo have become so popular when they reflect our society so negatively? I think we are all very grateful to have This American Life as the antithesis to this dumbed down misrepresentation of our culture.

I’m a first time buyer that’s been looking at homes in the North Shore for the past 2 years - I’ve seen the price for an entry level move-in-ready home rise to ~$800k for 1.5k sqft with a min of 3 bedrooms.

While prices have cooled in other areas of the US due to rising interest rates, I haven’t seen prices drop in Greater Boston. The supply of new homes on the market has dropped substantially.

How do buyers justify these prices? Is their expectation that prices will continue to rise over the next 10 years due to limited supply and global warming making other areas more difficult to live in?

With the rise of remote work, I’d think it would be easier for more buyers to sprawl into cheaper markets.

Do you think we’ll see a rise in delinquency rates on residential mortgages over the next 10 years?

I’m wondering how overextended the average home buyer in MA is to compete with this competitive market.

Hey guys, you have such a clean, crisp mix on your tracks; what's one production technique that you would swear by?

Hey Keith, can we get a rig rundown of what's on your board right now?
