The Joe Walker Podcast
The Joe Walker Podcast, formerly The Jolly Swagman Podcast, is a weekly exploration of questions that are both important and overlooked. A space for curious contrarians, Joe Walker hosts refreshingly in-depth conversations with the world’s deepest thinkers to tackle capitalism, science, business, culture, and politics. The podcast aims to introduce listeners to some first-class heterodox thinkers and give them the tools and the temerity to be one too. His guests include Nobel laureates, former prime ministers, authors, founders, entrepreneurs, economists, investors, public intellectuals and thought-leaders.
