Jim o'shaughnessy and jamie catherwood host a podcast called infinite loops. The goal of the show is to learn how we can reset our thinking on issues that hopefully leaves us with a better understanding as to why we think the way we think, and how we might be able to change that. Jim: "We hope to offer our listeners a fresh perspective on a variety of issues and look at them through a multi facetad lens"
