Everyone should listen to this and the Odd Lots podcast about the market for dinosaur fossils. Both are fascinating for a ton of reasons.
I particularly love hearing from people with jobs that combine professional skill sets like law, consulting, and dealing with what are unfortunately sometimes considered unemployable curiosities like art history and paleontology.
I feel lucky to have made a career that combines my skills with my curiosities. That said, I wish I had heard from more people like this when I was in high school and college.

Our guest on @maryinamerica this week is @LAmineddoleh, the most renowned lawyer in art repatriation and cultural heritage law.
She says one of the hardest parts about authenticating works and identifying forgeries is that people simply want to believe the art they found is real.
Buoyed by hope, they literally see things that aren’t there.
Leila joins us on a new episode of Mary in America, out now, to discuss stolen history, how art gets back to its home, and how a $34.99 bust at a Goodwill in Texas ended up being worth much, much more.

Can you avoid investing in AI?
That was one of the questions we dug into on @Slate Money this past week, alongside Alphabet's massive AI fundraise, index funds, immigration, and labor markets.
so much fun, @felixsalmon @espiers -- thank you for having me! slate.com/podcasts/slate-mon…

When people are struggling to afford groceries, using Instagram hits different.
More from our @maryinamerica conversation with the writer Xochitl Gonzalez, including the nostalgia of the era she tapped into in her latest book, "Last Night in Brooklyn," on YouTube and wherever you get your podcasts

You’re broke in your 20s.
But eventually, you make more.
And your behaviors start to change, replacing that old version of a struggling 20-something.
Xochitl Gonzalez joined @mdc to discuss what happens when your former self gets an upgrade.

You can end up gentrifying …yourself?
Xochitl Gonzalez, NYT bestselling author, joins @mdc for a conversation about upward mobility, insta, and why she’s (maybe?) in favor of a good smoke break.

Is paying for blood plasma … immoral?
That’s the view of much of the world.
But there’s no shortage of plasma for people who need it. Al Roth joins @mdc and explains why:

In our first episode, I got to hang out with economist Al Roth, who won a Nobel prize for his work on kidney exchanges. We talked about everything from kidneys to drugs to dinner parties.
It’s live on YouTube now: youtube.com/watch?v=6lEUAz9P…
