Customer Reviews
Safa
I got hooked to planet money after hearing a collab episode with TIA called the continental breakup. Such great content covered on this show, although I’ve been dying to hear episodes on the economic crisis in Lebanon, the same way Greece was covered. Please do a lebanon mini series!
Great for Economist addicts
My number 1 podcast for over 5 years !!
Greg, Cardiff, Sarah, Karen, Kenny, Mary, Amanda, Jacob, Stacey, Robert well done on making economics fun.
This is okay...
They can have good episodes but can be extremely inappropriate. Don’t recommend for under 18’s.
