To understand the economy, you have to understand human nature.

Hey, welcome to the podcast. It's John here.

Now, last weekend was another spectacular Kilconomics weekend. A proper full-on jamboree of economics and comedy and actually just a bit of crack.

And every year it's getting bigger and better. In actual fact, this is the biggest year yet.

So in traditional style, myself and Matt kicked things off for the live podcast show.

But this time, we were joined by the wonderful Kyla Scanlan.

Now, who's Kyla Scanlan?

Well, I'll let Mack take it from here.

There is an up-and-coming economic superstar from the United States.

Her book, In This Economy, is a New York Times bestseller.

She is changing the way people think about economics, understand economics, absorb economics.

She is, I wouldn't say a spokesperson for, but she's an interpreter for her generational, as they call

Gen Z. We call them Gen Z. It doesn't sound quite so good. It's also A, with a name like Scanlan,

her people are from Ross Common. So if there are any people from up the road, give her big who

for Ross Common and B, it's big hoop for us coming to be.

It's her first time.

There you go.

They are here.

And it's all two of you.

And it's also Kyla's first time in Ireland. So I want to give her a massive Kilkenny Irish welcome to one of our own who is coming back.

So that's a bit of a treat.
