"NOT A BORING FINANCE PODCAST! This is about a vast variety of topics closely or distantly related to the Economy. For example, today I heard an old one about how the Social Security Number came to be and how back when the SSN first was introduced some idiot who manufactured wallets demonstrated the SS Card holder by putting a replica of his secretary's (Administrative Assistant's) SS Card in it complete with her number. Even bigger idiots thought that was their SS Card and used that number as their SSN. The SSN was used by thousands of people. Anyway, it's not boring, and I learn really interesting new things every time I listen. You can listen to any past episodes in any order. It's only about 30 minutes. This is one of my favorite podcasts, and Iisten to many, many podcasts. #economics #funfact #shortepisodes "

"I might be biased as a former Economics major, but money’s fascinating! Helpful podcast to understand aspects of the financial system which overtly and subtly shape our everyday lives. "

"Really good look at economics today. The views align more with the left but they stay mainly moderate, so I really enjoyed it. It’s a good way to express how money can be used for social good in some cases "
