Factual Their own work or organisation

Tyler Cowen published a Conversation with Sam Bankman-Fried.

Resolved true The record shows it happened or was so.

Factual: Statements about the present or the past, checked against the record: did they hold up?

What would count as true or false

True if a Conversations with Tyler episode (audio and/or transcript) with Sam Bankman-Fried as guest was published on or around 2022-03-09. Mostly true if it was published but a minor detail differs, for example the release date is off by a few days. Mostly false if Cowen spoke with Bankman-Fried only in some other setting (an event or another outlet's podcast) and not as a published Conversation with Tyler. False if no Cowen–Bankman-Fried conversation had been published as of that date, shown by the episode archive for that period.

Reasoning

E1, a third-party podcast directory that lists the Conversations with Tyler feed, shows an episode titled "Sam Bankman-Fried on Arbitrage and Altruism" dated Mar 09, 2022. The official episode page (E2) confirms that a Conversations with Tyler episode with Bankman-Fried exists and says it was recorded January 6, 2022. Cowen's Marginal Revolution post (E3) announcing the conversation is dated March 10, 2022, within a day of the claimed date. Together these show the episode was published on or around 2022-03-09.
