Customer Reviews
Micro-Face
What they did with those episodes they created is genius! They were genuinely funny, and super educational about how creating and securing trademarks work in this country. HIGHLY recommend listening to it.
DIY Reparations
This episode is disgusting. The media are feeding the sense entitlement for certain groups in America and they’re developing unrealistic expectations. As a white man, I feel no responsibility for what people with my skin color did generations ago. My family wasn’t even in this country when slavery existed. I don’t come from a wealthy family but to assume because I’m White that what money I DO have is the product of racism and not my own hard work is extremely racist. If you think I owe you money because I’m white, YOU are the racist!
Not worth listening too anymore
What was a middle of the road economic podcast has turned into a full blown partisan prolog and a outlet. DIY Reperations is the most absurd, virtue signaling hot garbage I’ve ever listened too. Planet Money isn’t even interested in educating or telling important stories anymore. Their just propagandizing their listeners. 6 years and I’m out! ✌️
