Quality, valuable information made entertaining
I consume many many podcasts on myriad subjects, including economics and Planet Money is one of the best at exploring complex, interesting topics and conveying them in an understandable and entertaining way. The variety of content provides varied perspectives in varied market contexts. However, there are several episodes that tend to drift away from the economic focus of the podcast and focus more on news items/political issues - it would be nice to make sure that every episode clearly ties in the economics of the material covered I appreciate that they label which episodes are repeats, also find the team members very likable Informative enough to feel valuable, but casual enough that be fun
