In this episode, Nick compares astrology to the Dismal Science of economics. It revisits an ongoing theme of the Money Hat-Tip: forecasting is for fools.
Nick talks his dear listener through an astrological forecast of his compatibility with The Lovely Penelope; quotes economist JK Galbraith dumping on his profession; and has a good laugh (and drops his wine glass in shock) at some idiocy from Paul Krugman, another economist.
Along the way he references Reggie Perrin and CJ; reads out a lovely review left on iTunes; reveals a hankering for the blonde one out of Abba.
