Another Russ Roberts—EA overlap was his interview with Peter Singer. I first heard him discussing it with another guest who said “Wow, that Peter Singer interview was crazy, you must have really been biting your tongue” and Russ agreed he’d been holding back. Then I went back and listened to the Singer interview and . . . couldn’t figure out what the crazy part was supposed to be. So apparently I can’t pass an intellectual Turing test as Mike Munger or Russ Roberts.
Don’t know if you want to include “podcast conversations” in your set here, but if you do:
Russ Roberts is fairly conservative, also seemed quite thoughtful and to have good epistemology, when I was listening to econtalk regularly (which hasn’t been in a few years). He had a conversation with Bostrom, about AGI, which I thought went terribly (no good, bad bad bad). He also had a conversation with MacAskill, which I don’t remember as well, but I have the general sense that it also didn’t go super well. Maybe worth a re-listen. He’s probably talked with some other major figures, if you go digging in the archives—there have been a lot of development economists, some of whom are probably important to EA research.

He also talked to Rob Wiblin. https://80000hours.org/podcast/episodes/russ-roberts-effective-altruism-empirical-research-utilitarianism/
