Customer Reviews
A discovery
During a professional training on microeconomics a few years ago, the trainier recommended this podcast. Out of curiosity I listened to one episode and I fell in love with it. It is such an entertaining way to learn about economic matters. I started from episode 1 and finally understood a bit what happened in 2008. Thanks to NPR for this amazing podcast.
My favourite episodes? Episode 672: Bagging the Birkin and Episode 687: Buy This Passport.
Excellent podcast! Really, over the top!
