“I love this podcast because it helps me understand an important topic I don’t care enough to invest into learning myself: economics. It really is “Economics for Dummies” as I saw someone call it on these reviews. I also love the unexpected laughs it’s given me. My boyfriend and I don’t know anything about investing, so we wanted to look into it. To my delight, an episode recently re-ran (with an update) about a bet over whether hedge funds or index funds are more likely to give you a better ROI. After listening to it, I had a whole speech ready to go to convince my boyfriend that index funds are the way to go. To back me up, I played him the podcast, after which he said, “No more evidence needed. If it’s good enough for Warren Buffett, it’s good enough for me.” I died laughing! We also really enjoyed the episode about the fake bank used to track drug traffickers. Thanks for the great times, Planet Money. Keep up the great work!”
