Planet Money just turned 10 years old and in that time I haven't found a podcast that has been more consistently informative and entertaining.
Some recent highlights:

- joezydeco 8y agoPlanet Money was invaluable in understanding what was happening during the 2008 financial meltdown. They were creating new episodes nearly every other day to explain the next domino that was falling. Since then they've done a nice pivot into using that style to explain other gears in the global economy. The series about making a T-shirt, for example, was excellent.
