Erik Fleming Podcast Interviews Roberts

Richard Roberts, MBA, specialist professor in the Department of Economics, Finance, and Real Estate, was recently interviewed for episode 12, season 14, of the podcast, A Moment with Erik Fleming.

In the episode, "Audacious Provocation," Fleming hosts Harvard Law professor Guy-Uriel Charles, co-editor of America Unfinished: 250 Years of Law and Governance, to discuss the audacious idea of being "one people," the evolution of voting rights, and proposals like proportional representation to protect political voice.

In the second segment, which begins at 55:55 of the podcast, Fleming welcomes back Roberts, a former Federal Reserve economist, to explain the economy in plain terms-inflation, Fed policy, interest rates, AI, energy, and tariffs.

The episode closes with the host's reflections on policing, the death penalty, and the moral stakes of justice in America. Fleming is a former Mississippi state representative and two-time U.S. Senate candidate.
