“Next time you feel the need to put out another episode, ask yourselves if it’s a public good or if you just like hearing yourselves talk.”

“what I really like about planet money, specifically the indicator is they focus on the hot issues affecting the economy and provide valuable insight with opinions from both sides. The Rhino Horn story really exemplifies this, they had both people who thought synthetic rhino horns would be a...”Read full review »

“The recent episode of this show jackknifed into the end of Planet Money seemed a bit uninformed at first. As it went on “uninformed” grew to wildly ignorant.
(*form a bit back) These guys are cute but shame NPR’s good name. I feel a lot of the terrible-ness is about the short format, but many...”Read full review »

“Fake, way-over-the-top cheer, air horns throughout the podcast whenever an indicator is announced, hyped-up listener contests, dumbed down explanations that anticipates the listener will roll around on the floor in agony like a toddler at the mere gesture of something technical. What an awful...”Read full review »

“This podcast has managed to survive my regular rotation even when so many have fallen. Quick, engaging, and always relevant.
All of Turney McKee’s blurbs on Pareto were great, hope to hear from him again.”

“I love this podcast and PlanetMoney. I subscribed to the premium edition to go ad free. Unfortunately there are still ads when I listen. Even worse, now when I listen to PlanetMoney, they upload a completely different show (FreshAir) and I have to listen on Spotify instead. Such a shame as I love...”Read full review »

Thanks I’ll...”Read full review »

“These fools said Bitcoin isn’t a currency because you can’t buy a bagel at the local coffee shop in America. By that definition, most foreign currencies don’t pass the test. My local coffee shop doesn’t accept the Japanese Yen. So I guess Japanese money isn’t real? Why does this podcast hand the...”Read full review »

Joking about shortening showers on a Colorado river story is the problem. 79% of the water goes to ag and farming.

“This state-affiliated podcast used to be pretty good. Sadly it’s become just another intellectually simple podcast that u would expect from NPR. 90% of the podcasts revolve around climate change, sexism, or racism. Well, perceived climate change, sexism and racism. According to this podcast...”Read full review »

“The show has certainly struggled to find its footing in the post-Stacey and Cardiff era. It's difficult to lose the hosts who made the show what it is, but the Indicator has retained the spirit of short, topical, informational episodes. Whereas the show used to be a must listen, now I find...”Read full review »

“Great Podcast. It’s a digestible bite of the economy big and small stories and how there effects us. But you will have to endure the vocal FRRRRRRY which is not need. Come on guys you don’t need to do it, it doesn’t bring anything, (Darian) ;-). Would and could be a five.”
