Impressively engaging and easy to understand.
Very engaging podcast, which is no small feat given the heavy economics covered, and it does well at displaying the human element in every story. The hosts also work well off each other and the people they interview. The only things I take issue with are that the ads are usually very standard and easy to skip, which is not very effective. The show could also benefit from having one main host on top of the seven people they cycle through, and the episodes could also be longer and dive deeper into the topics. All in all, I would definitely recommend this podcast.
