Well-done! Sound in my car is soft during the content but LOUD during the commercials. May affect my opportunity cost to switch to another podcast with consistent sound quality.

There are moments of wishful economic theory here. Justin shows he is well left of center and mixing it in confuses the material. We see oil prices and know it’s 18 months of halted new oil and pipelines that have hurt this country. As an economist you know an 18 month halt to oil signed on...Read full review »

I teach economics and I am planning to use your podcast recordings in my class to explain these concepts. I suggest looking at more macro concepts.

I really like the content but I cringe each time Betsy talks. It sounds like she reading off a script and addressing an elementary school class. It's SO close to being good but I literally brace my self for each time she speaks. It would be nice if the moderator pushed back on the concepts...Read full review »

I love your show but aggregate supply and aggregate demand show you said that College will show to employers that they can stick with something and will be more productive. I disagree, I am a Service Coordinator for people with Developmental Disabilities and the employees coming out of College...Read full review »

I am an economist, this is an awesome podcast, it’s a great content, and a great reminder for what I learned at school and helpful tool while planning my biz. But the ads are annoying. They first one is 3 times louder then the rest of podcast so it startles me every time. Then the hosts add even...Read full review »

I’m currently studying economics in university, and I have to say that this podcast is wonderful.
N_Untun via Apple Podcasts · Japan · 05/23/21
Tailored for broader audience, for people, who never learned economics at school or university but are not arrogant enough to think they know it all nevertheless. Very well structured, very comprehensive, very informative. Never missed an episode

Should be called ‘Think like a Capitalist’
{~shadow~}76 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/17/21
Very informative, but way too many advertisements.
Buntu via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/28/21
If you have an interest in learning about economics, then this is a great place to begin. Economics is a tough subject to cover as it can be pretty dry. But the style of conversation and the way they have related concepts to real world scenarios (that are relatable) make it highly informative...Read full review »

The info is good, but you can tell everything is scripted and the hosts are dramatically reading their lines like a children’s book. These guys are smart, so I’m sure it would be more interesting if they described the concepts in their own words.
Brad008 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/31/21
The perfect podcast for new learners in the sector as well as more experienced people as well in order to grasp the current conversations in the industry!
fishyrainn via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/25/21
So I am a high school student- studying microeconomics. This podcast is so good that as an economic student it helps me retain all the concepts thoroughly. I listen to this while studying, eating and when going or coming back from tuition. But I am almost gonna finish with all the episodes😔...Read full review »

In today’s world of distraction and shifting environment, it is difficult to think clearly. Mainly because concepts with which we anchor our thinking to navigate life are not well defined. This is what this podcast will teach you, concepts that are not only a manual to navigate issues like jobs,...Read full review »
Ahmedali1987 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/13/21
I think the content and presentation are amazing for this show. I love the length of the episodes and how much thought went into their flow. Everything is explained well and with easy-to-understand examples. I just wish that Betsey Stevenson wouldn’t get louder as she’s making a point. I’m...Read full review »

I like Betsy and Justin and this high level review of economic concepts. I would rather not have the third voice echoing everything, seems redundant.
Trego76 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/04/21
This show was the one thing that kept me from watching Netflix all day. It’s awesome that I get to learn something while I can ALSO sit on the couch in my sweatpants. You should TOTALLY listen to this podcast.
Grandpa Door via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/03/21
Interesting topic. Hosts push their political views for some reason. They don’t like Capitalism or the United States. Many of the concepts they share are correct. Like 9th grade economics for liberals.
Zarbod via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/31/20
The volume of this podcast is all over the place. In order to hear the words the chill man is saying, I have to turn up the volume SO high the woman’s voice is extremely piercing. I really enjoy the content, I’m not interested in changing the volume levels between speakers.
turndownforwhat? via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/27/20
So good for my economics class!
taliflowerrrrr via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/23/20
The mundane lifeless energy and subjects of this podcast made watching paint dry a better option!
THTrade via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 12/22/20
These are 2 very highly regarded economists but this podcast is just a flop. Dull and basic, it’s almost as if they are reciting an old econ textbook for children. The moderator Nes doesn’t add much value to the conversation. If you want engaged, insightful, nuanced dialogue on econ and...Read full review »
APhysicist via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/13/20
Sadly, the lack of enthusiasm and robotic nature of the discussions have turned me away from what probably is great information as well as educational. Feels like those old cassette tapes you listened to as a kid..... very bland.
Joseph Primrose via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/06/20
Also slightly woke
TheLifeOfGoose via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/03/20
This is an amazing and educational podcast that taught me a lot during quarantine. The acting wasn’t the best, but keep in mind they are economist not actors. The Script was VERY well written, and the episodes have been consistent. If you are looking for something to do I would recommend this...Read full review »
TedTalkLover347 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/29/20
I had high hopes for this podcast. But it so basic, and the hosts are so robotic as they read the script, that I can’t rate it highly. Also, the hosts are very obviously spouting Democratic Party dogma. The episode on international trade mentioned nothing about unfair trade tactics by China and...Read full review »

This show is as if the team behind Planet Money took over my college economics textbook. The hosts literally take you through a structured introduction to economics course but it feels fun the whole way. Look forward to this show every week.
SaraTyer2956 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/17/20
This is a good podcast if you are just taking economics for the first time or would like a review of the fundamentals in quick relateable episodes. (However, I think I would practically pay to have the little jaunty music bits removed. I feel like I am stuck in an overly pollyanna corporate...Read full review »

I am so loving how much I am learning and using these newly learned principles in my life.

Women are Waking Up via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/17/20
The example about the car in episode one did not take in account all the benefits so the conclusion is suspect.
Donald Sigwalt via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/21/20
It’s been many years since I had Econ 101 and this podcast helps to bring back those basic principles in a fun and engaging way. I love the voice of the host and she does a great job asking questions to the economists.
Jules Mark via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/11/20
I’m enjoying each episode and how they are scripted, dynamic and educational!
nevennna via Apple Podcasts · Slovenia · 09/08/20
Interesting but kinda hard to listen to since it sounds robotic and therefore not super engaging.
AHerdon via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/03/20
Informative podcast, love it how they break down economic concepts in bite size pieces using real world examples. Can’t wait for the next one!
Kazzamajazza via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/27/20
Applying economics principles to everyday life, Betsey Stevenson & Justin Wolfers dazzle. They impart Econ lessons in an entertaining and informative fashion, and in digestible tidbits that are comprehensible but do not overwhelm the listener. Can’t wait to hear more!
MB Bianco via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/22/20
I really enjoy how Justin and Betsey try to make key economic concepts accessible for everyone. So much of the field struggles with this, so it’s refreshing to hear these foundational concepts explained with real world examples of how we interact with them everyday. I recommended them to my...Read full review »

Sometimes useful information, but please break yourselves of the habit of saying “look” at the beginning of every other sentence. It’s a distraction.
Lucfmnt via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/19/20
Not bad. Was looking forward to a cogent answer to whether one should buy another cup of coffee beyond the abstract principles of marginal cost and marginal benefit.
Micro Chasm via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/19/20
I don’t know why I’m so obsessed but this podcast is informational and well made. I love how clearly the information is presented. There are simply not enough economics podcasts!! This and planet money are my daily staple.
Doctor Halex via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/18/20
These episodes are short and easy to listen to, perfect for my walks! Great chemistry between the hosts as well. Can’t wait for more!
Xmaspoop via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/18/20
Two of the leading economists in the world help break down micro and macro economics for those of us that didn’t quite get it in school. Very interested to see where it goes. Simple. Straight forward. And non-pretentious approach to complex subject matter.
