Haven’t missed an episode from the beginning. Love this show. A planet money lite. Getting plus to avoid ads and support NPR since their funding is under attack for *checks notes* reporting unbiased stats.
You must do better, it’s almost 2026

Why do you still use such horribly recorded audio ? How expensive is it to send the people you are interviewing a tiny mic before you record your interview ? Insanely bad on recent video game episode. Do better for the sake of our eardrums
"underrated"

Some episodes are actually interesting, but they manage to squeeze in two ads in the span of less than 9 minutes, so I feel my time can be better spent listening elsewhere
