This Show Has a Ton of Potential

“I’ve really enjoyed listening to this show. Some episodes are better than others—I’ve especially enjoyed the recent episodes “Making chips at home again” and “Does the Fed have a monopoly on ‘Fed’-ing?” (bad title, good episode). On the whole, I find the episodes about more complex and less covered topics more interesting and valuable.
I do think the show could assume a greater level of sophistication among its listeners. Some of the episodes feel a bit Econ 101-y. I don’t think anyone is voluntarily listening to a MarketWatch podcast who doesn’t have a solid foundation in finance/economics.
Finally, I don’t understand why the show doesn’t lean on Stephanie Kelton more. She’s a legit star economist and is great at communicating ideas to a broad audience. The structural conceit used in some episodes of a peer-like conversation between her and Charles Passy is a bit nonsensical in its current manifestation. She’s the expert. He’s a journalist. Why not frame it as Charles (the everyman) trying to make sense of a complex topic by asking Stephanie (the expert) questions? In this moment of near-constant blockbuster economic news, it feels like a real missed opportunity to not have Stephanie lend her topical commentary. It wouldn’t have to be with a political slant—she could frame the issue and the legitimate arguments on either side.”

“Roughly 10-minutes into the most recent episode, they leave the door open about paying credit bills in full. This ignores payment history and credit utilization as two of the largest factors in calculating credit score. Save yourself 20-minutes and your credit score and don’t listen.”

“I can get overwhelmed by hour+ long podcasts, especially around serious topics, so Best New Ideas in Money not only is the perfect fit, but is a sincerely informative show! Stephanie and Jeremy offer all sides in each episode’s topic and end up challenging me to consider additional perspectives....”Read full review »

“They don’t explore issues. They simply create a narrative on a topic that people already want to believe. Uninformative and in some cases misleading! Stay away!”
