Evidence (4)

  1. E1 Tyler Cowen on Latin America cpsi.media · 18 February 2026

    “In this conversation, Rasheed and Diego sit down with Tyler Cowen to think through a question that sits quietly beneath much of today’s political noise: what actually compounds?”
  2. E2 Tyler Cowen on Latin America cpsi.media · 18 February 2026

    “We begin in Spain, with a debate about regulating social media. But the real subject is not technology policy. It is institutional trajectory.”
  3. E3 Tyler Cowen on Latin America cpsi.media · 18 February 2026

    “From there, we widen the lens to the Americas. The United States and Latin America are integrating more deeply — demographically, culturally, economically — whether policymakers fully grasp it or not.”
  4. E4 Tyler Cowen on Latin America - Spain in the World Spain in the World (Buzzsprout podcast host page) · 15 February 2026

    “In this wide-ranging conversation, Tyler Cowen joins Rasheed and Diego to examine Latin America's structural challenges, cultural strengths, and economic future.”

Reasoning

An episode titled "Tyler Cowen on Latin America" was published on the Spain in the World podcast host page dated 2026-02-15 (E4) and on cpsi.media dated 2026-02-18 (E1). Both describe Rasheed and Diego talking with Tyler Cowen (E1, E4). The description says the conversation opens in Spain with a debate about regulating social media (E2), then moves to the Americas and Latin America (E3, E4). So the episode covers both topics, has both hosts, and came out by the claim date. The sources name the hosts by first name only, as Rasheed and Diego, which matches the first names in the quote.
