Off the Fence

Off the Fence

Luis Arenzana, Peter Greiff, Alexandre Fuchs

Three Trans-Atlantic Observers discuss every two weeks Markets, Society and other entertaining absurdities. The American educator Alfred Whitney Griswold said, “The only sure weapon against bad ideas is good ideas.” With that in mind, we’ve launched this Podcast OFF THE FENCE. Every two weeks, we’ll get together and take a look at a subject we think we may know something about, try to separate the wheat from the chaff and maybe even come up with some practical, compelling conclusions. We don’t expect to change the world but do hope to change some minds. We’ll keep it direct and clean, with fact-based analysis and opinions and no swearing. We hope you enjoy it.
