United StatesUnited States2019-06-205Muderf7890The best economics podcast on iTunesThis best source of economic science and information, not because I love the hosts voice but because it’s zero bias
United StatesUnited States2019-05-051GladesgatorBiasedSome are very good but some presentation are just a lot of biased blabber! If you are going to push a political point at least present opposing views. The moderator stumbles and bumbles and tries to push his own agenda.
United StatesUnited States2018-12-173atxfitgalGood ideas, weak executionThis could be a good podcast if they would script it to tell a better story and leave out lots of irrelevant and repetitive content.
United StatesUnited States2018-06-045Mainscout SkaptiaIf you’re reading economics podcast reviews, this is probably for you.Wide ranging, nuanced and interesting interviews. Must have for an Econ podcast library. If Econtalk doesn’t put out enough material for you, this is a great addition.

United StatesUnited States2016-09-145JeremyTheVeteranArtistVery interestingEconomics is a subject that I really need to get more educated on. I especially enjoy the talk on the history of economics and how it relates to current scenarios.
United StatesUnited States2016-08-245Jon from AmericalandEnjoyable and Deeply InformativeWhile longer than most new podcasts I listen to, the episode discussing Petroleum divestment allowed the professor to illustrate some of the hypocrisy in Universities being pushed by activists pushing only a few ways of divesting from oil, while still taking advantage of the benefits. I would have liked the interview to be broke up a bit more, to hear more from the podcast and their views.

CanadaCanada2019-02-035randolphusUnderstand Economic IssuesI've long wanted to explore economic issues in today's world. This podcast is a great way to do it. It's not hard to understand - I flunked Econ 101 so I know! Give it a whirl.

CanadaCanada2016-10-055Kalliekzlove!Loving the the Vampire/Zombie episode! Great show!
CanadaCanada2016-06-145ElliotonitunesI Love this Show!I have been listening to it every day on my way to work, it gets my head in a good space and out of its usual grogginess. I think it's good whether you know economics or not (i just have done intro courses when i was a student); jargon is always explained and i always learn a lot too. Covers a wide range of interesting topics. Highly recommend 🙂
CanadaCanada2015-03-195Cabondo Londofascinating stuffThe Economics Detective is what you need to show people if they say something like "economics is dry". The host has got a great presence, and asks great questions that provoke insightful responses. Give it a listen!
CanadaCanada2014-09-285thelawsA great listenThe podcast conversation style is very nice and smooth. I really enjoyed the episode on zombie and vampire economics- looking forward to seeing what other cool people will be interviewed and learning mroe about economics!
CanadaCanada2014-09-055Economics NoviceEnlighteningI've heard of Austrian economics, but never understood how it differed from mainstream economics. This podcast was very informative 🙂
United KingdomUnited Kingdom2019-04-245SimonFawEconomics for the non economistGarret doesn't get bogged down in the technical and esoteric. His guests are always insightful and informative on a wide variety of subjects. There's some great episodes but my favourites are Diversity (22 July 2016) & Kidnapping For Ransom (17 Feb 2019)
United KingdomUnited Kingdom2017-02-105Alasdair MacMillanGreat showHighly recommend this podcast for an introduction to a variety concepts and ideas of economic thought. Informative and interesting yet not too heavy or wooden. Very enjoyable to listen to. Ali, Scotland.

United StatesUnited States2020-05-243TDHchMixed bagThis can be very good with the right guest, but on occasion I really miss a robust discussion. An example of both sides: the interview with Robert Frank was terrific, with Frank expounding upon his ideas very concretely. The episode on Market Urbanism took half an hour to even start to get concrete, before that it was unclear what was being discussed and no challenges were mentioned: two guys who agreed basically agreed unspecifically for 30 minutes. I had and still have no strong view on the actual topic of urban housing policy, but felt I listened to a paid ad from private developers. They may have had compelling points eventually, but after 30 minutes of little substance I checked out. So... dip in occasionally, but probably not a “go to” podcast on a regular basis.
United KingdomUnited Kingdom2020-11-195duoybobLove it!Garrett gets great guests. Just discovered this, and can't wait to see this evolve. I think it's going to be big one day!
United StatesUnited States2021-11-255Julie6498Wow, so fun and enlightening!!!How did I not know about this before? So many interesting guests. Well-conducted interviews in which host asks exactly the questions I had I am enjoying going through ok’d episodes. Understand the host is busy with a new baby but hope he finds time again to do this!
