Economics shapes everything — from the interest rates on your mortgage to the trade policies that determine which industries survive. The best economics podcasts make these forces intelligible without dumbing them down, bringing together academic rigour and real-world application in ways that textbooks rarely do.
EconTalk's Russ Roberts has spent nearly two decades exploring economic ideas through conversation. Odd Lots unpacks the mechanics of financial markets and monetary plumbing. Planet Money and Freakonomics make economic thinking broadly accessible. Capitalisnt, VoxTalks, and Trade Talks bring policy depth. Macro Musings and Macro Voices cover central banking and macro investing. Unhedged brings the FT's perspective on markets and the economy.
