This week marks a major milestone for EconTalk, a long-running podcast hosted by economist and author Russ Roberts. Whether you're a long-time fan or brand new to the show, this special 1,000th episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at how it all began—and what keeps it going.

Roberts reflects on his journey from early podcast experimenter to achieving 850 consecutive Monday releases featuring leading thinkers across disciplines—from philosophy and politics to science, literature, and beyond. He covers why he started EconTalk, revisits favorite moments, and explains why he believes meaningful conversation matters more than ever.
