EconTalk is my current favorite. Around 700 episodes since 2006 on a variety of subjects: education, healthcare, public debt, etc. The host dives quite deep into each subject and asks the interviewees tough questions. I always feel like I've learnt something from each episode.
- yuy910616 6y agoI want to second EconTalk. Fantastic podcast. He is very much a free-market economist tho. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I think he is of Austrian school of economics? Nonetheless, humanity shines through in his conversations. I'd say this podcast is more about human condition through economics. Cannot recommend it enough.

- commonturtle 6y agoYes he's a little more free-market than I am. But I like that he's at least willing to consider the other side's position and invites guests who don't agree with his positions often.
