So Informative!
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😔 Please keep up with it because you are the best professors! I just love the episodes and the teaching style. I wish I would have teachers like you in university😌
