This is speaking of faith's unheard cuts. I'm Christa Tippett. You're listening to my

unedited conversation with Paul Zach. He's professor of economics and the founding director of

the Center for Neuroeconomic Studies at Claremont Graduate University. I spoke with him on March 25th,

2009, from the studios of American public media in St. Paul, Minnesota. He was in the studios of

Public Radio Station, K-U-C-I, in Irvine, California. This interview is included in our program

the Science of Trust, Economics, and Virtue. Download the MP3 of the Produced Show at speakingoffaith.org.

Hello. Hello. Do you hear me? Hi, we've been hearing you for a while.

Okay. Wow, and this is the first I heard you.

And how okay, I'm going to do you want me to put Rick, right? Paul, I'm so sorry. Paul,

you want me to put Paul on here and and you guys can that'd be great. I'm working out. Okay. I'm

hearing a big echo. Well, okay, let me let me do something.

Use these headphones. Go ahead and sit down over there. All right. All one plug.

And go ahead and sit down and talk right in the microphone.

Hi, it's Paul Zeck. Hi, it's Christopher. Hello. Hello. There's an echo that's going to drive me

crazy. So I need them to, it may be a volume. Oh, I think it just went away. Let's see,

did you scroll away? Well, I didn't hear anything echo too. Yeah, no, it's still there.

It sounds like it's coming through a set of headphones. Is there another set of headphones?

Actually, yeah, I put in, he's wearing, yeah, so two set of headphones here. Is that what you

think might be causing it? Yes, I'm just the one set of headphones. Okay. Okay, so how's the echo now?

Okay. I hear it too. I still hear it. You still hear it. It could be the volume on your headphones.

And actually, I think Mitch, maybe we should try to turn, it sounds pretty loud at this end too.

Is that helping? Okay. Okay. Better. Let me see. I'm not hearing the echo anymore.
