Description

The Tradeoff is a weekly podcast delivering fast context on how policy and market decisions actually affect real life.

Hosted by Mattie Duppler—a former Capitol Hill leader, Big Tech executive, and cable news veteran—the show focuses on what headlines often miss: who decisions affect, how tradeoffs show up in the economy, and what matters next.


Drawing on her experience negotiating some of the biggest modern policy changes in Washington, Mattie provides short, fast insights designed to help you see patterns in real time—so when a headline hits, you already know what questions to ask.


If you want to understand the news without wading through noise or sitting through an economics seminar, this show is for you.
