Very much enjoyed this new documentary on Moviedrome. Was the perfect complement to Danny Peary's Cult Movies book trilogy

Sending off and a goal awarded would be a better rule to prevent this kind of cheating.

Adam Smith was born June 5, 1763. Here are some Stone Center for Research on Wealth Inequality and Mobility @UCStoneCenter recordings that directly involve Smithian thought

In this episode of The Inequality podcast, Eric Schliesser @nescio13 discusses his great book Adam Smith: Systematic Philosopher and Public Thinker

https://t.co/ofEIpnfQHZ.

Adam Smith plays a prominent role in Darrin McMahon's fascinating Equality-The History of an Elusive idea, which was the subject of a public conversation with Jonathan Levy @_jonlevy, Jenny Trinitapoli, and me, moderated by Scott Ashworth

https://t.co/aFWf9OO4R1.

Smith also plays a prominent role in David Lay Williams terrific The Greatest of All Plagues: How Economic Inequality Shaped Political Thought from Plato to Marx, which is the subject of both a podcast

https://t.co/8oLnYTpFF7.

and a public conversation with Chiara Cordelli @chiaracordelli and me, moderated by John McCormick.

https://t.co/tn7OlhaDOW

Finally, Smith's thought is an important part of Peter Boettke's @PeterBoettke visions of economics and of liberalism, the subject of this podcast.

I recommend his essay Why Read Adam Smith Today?

5 June 1723. Adam Smith was born in Kirkcaldy, Scotlland. He laid the foundations of free market economic theory in 2 classic works: The Theory of Moral Sentiments and An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations often abbreviated as The Wealth of Nations.

[Econlib @Econlib]

Happy Birthday to Adam Smith (1723–1790), whose insights on moral sentiments, free exchange, and human flourishing still shape conversations about liberty, markets, and society more than two centuries later. 🎉📚 #AdamSmith #OnThisDay https://t.co/TSujX7c9Bh

Today years old learning about this stamp!

[Am Baile - Highland History & Culture @HighlandHistory]

With the start of the World Cup less than a week away I thought I'd share something a little different for Football Memories - a stamp designed for Royal Mail which was set to go into production when Scotland came home with the trophy in June 1978...

If only economics seminars had such important and gentle questioning fact of the day...

[Paul Halpern @phalpern]

Albert Einstein's first-ever question to young Richard Feynman at his research seminar at Princeton about electrodynamics was: "Where is the tea?"

Feynman was happy he could answer at least one of Einstein's questions!

My absolute favourite fact of all time is that Tony Hart was in the Gurkhas.

And if anyone over about 45 says they don't have the gallery music from Take Hart playing in their heads right now then I will call them a bloody liar.

Not a u105 listener, but if I were an advertiser the negative publicity over presenter contracts/staff turnover - in a setting of loyal listeners- would not entice me to spend my radio advertising budget at u105. Slightly baffled what is going on.

[Belfast Telegraph @BelTel]

U105’s Carolyn Stewart is missing from the airwaves in another high-profile absence from the Belfast-based radio station.
The absence follows confirmation of the departure of five other U105 presenters amid a dispute over their contracts.
