Interesting and thought provoking.

So apparently Gigi Foster’s son asks her about the hammer and sickle, and she goes on a long solo about the virtue and necessity of markets and the evils of a planned economy. During this time, there’s no mention of hammers, sickles, workers, peasants, Russia, WWI, the word “soviet” or most of...Read full review »

This is such an interesting and informative podcast and I’m so glad it’s back again in 2021. Thank you.

In this era when we are told we aren’t getting our fair share of the money, The Economists explain the science of economics and apply it to today’s Australia, in the hope that each person can can live a better live thanks to decisions better made. Great stuff!

Greatly appreciate this podcast and greatly disappointed it has ceased. The content was pertinent, current and informative. One could measure and review one’s understanding of economic events with the benefit of commentary by genuine skilled economists. Will be greatly missed please ‘bring it back’

The discussion with US economist Justin Wolfers on 28 May was rather fawning. Are the show presenters unaware of the trenchant critique of the economic model of choice by Jonathan Aldred or Richard Robb? Aldred’s and Robb’s work is readily accessible, so there’s no excuse for promulgating...Read full review »

Recently I’ve noticed that Gigi seems to have taken quite a callus position towards the worth of a human life in this Covid19 landscape. Now while I’m not of the religious persuasion, I don’t believe her position and weighing of a life against a hand full of dollars is just a case of economics. I...Read full review »

Always interesting and stimulating with knowledgeable guests. Complex issues explained with depth and clarity. I always come away with a deeper understanding of the topic.

Generally I find "The Economists" very stimulating. I don't fully understand all the content but that's often what stirs my interest. I usually learn something from listening to it.Read full review »

Interesting concepts and great ideas and debates, but Gigi speaks to fast and interrupts too much! Please try and speak more slowly and not over the top of each other. As someone who is not across all economic theories, it is difficult to follow at times. Otherwise great show! Keen to hear more...Read full review »

As a professional economist I was deeply disappointed with the extremely poor ‘analysis’ in the latest episode. I even had to stop listening halfway through because I was so frustrated and angry and how wrong some of the points were. Not only was the position taken by Gigi one that doesn’t...Read full review »

I have to say that I loved the most recent podcast, great debate between both presenters about the stark realities of this virus. Thank you Gigi for illuminating a seemingly unpopular, but all too true, argument concerning the damage that shut downs are doing to economies all around the world. I...Read full review »

Content is very interesting and easy to comprehend for me, a mere housewife and Gigi and Peter are a delight to listen too! Wish it was a whole year round program.

I’ve found this series far more understandable and interesting than I expected it could be. If Aunty can find a few more dollars to keep it going I would be very grateful !

As a high school Economics teacher I love this show. It provides an engaging version of the key ideas we cover at school & some great interviews, examples & scenarios that are terrific for class discussion. (Eg just listened to the ‘measurement’ discussion & heard the Robert Kennedy...Read full review »

Essential listening, but Gigi speaks so fast to the point of being manic. Couldn't bear to listen and stopped. A shame. Easily fixed. Just...slow... down...a..bit.Read full review »

Dynamic duo bringing objective, open minded, and engaging economic discussion to the table in real terms. Hope they make it a more year round consistent production.
