Customer Reviews
Awesome podcast
This podcast is awesome because it helps kids understand economics in a simple way
Excellent.
I love this podcast! Quick informative episodes that help you understand basic concepts that affect us from day to day. The folks giving it a bad rating are clearly not fans of the truth. 😏 It’s funny and entertaining but they find really clever ways to break complex topics down into easily understood chunks and keep your interest.
Telling half truth
Dislike method of telling half truth! That made me defund NPR!
