I’m pleased to announce the posting on-line of two podcasts of interviews conducted with me on trade policy subjects.

The first is of Wednesday night’s segment on John Batchelor’s nationally syndicated radio show covering the latest developments in the U.S.-China trade confrontation. Click here for a great discussion among John, co-host Gordon G. Chang, and me.

The second is a two-parter I did with former Connecticut radio show host Larry Rifkin on his new America Trends podcast series. It’s a wide-ranging examination of America’s position in the world economy and how we’ve arrived here, and although it goes for about 50 minutes in toto, I think you’ll find that sticking with it will be well worth your while if you have any interest in such subjects. Here’s the link to both. And don’t forget to scroll down the page, because the first part is presented below the second!

Heckuva busy day today!  Hot on the heels of my interview on Connecticut’s WATR-AM, and the publication of my new article in The Hill, I’ll be appearing on John Batchelor’s nationally syndicated radio program tonight to discuss President Obama’s big Pacific Rim trade deal and its likely impact on the U.S. economy.

As promised, here’s the link to the podcast of my appearance last night on John Batchelor’s nationally syndicated radio show.  This segment was especially interesting, as John, co-host Gordon Chang, and I didn’t quite see eye-to-eye on whether China’s footprint on the world economy, and its impact on the United States’ future (including as “America’s banker”) are still growing or shrinking.  Our conversation starts off right at the beginning of the podcast.

As promised, here’s the podcast of my appearance last night on John Batchelor’s nationally syndicated radio show. The conversation covered not only China’s harassment of foreign multinationals and what it means for U.S. and world trade, but how it relates to a relentless, mercantilist Chinese drive for economic power that threatens U.S. national security. The segment starts at the top of the hour.
