A lot of panic for an average week, where to next for the economy & the rise and fall of media stocks

The headline that sticks with us from last week: "Recession fears in horror global bloodbath" (News.com.au). Nothing subtle about "horror global bloodbath".

In today's episode, we look back at the week that was and consider whether the panic (and headlines like that) were justified. We also:

• Catch up on what we're learning from earnings season
• Discuss Elon Musk's Neuralink implanting a second brain chip
• Unpack the news out of the WA mining industry
• Share our takeaways from JP Morgan Asset Management's quarterly briefing
• Discuss our latest book club book, all about the rise and fall of media companies
