Thank you so much for continuing to host this excellent podcast. I have been a listener to NPR for a long time and thoroughly enjoy them. This podcast is particularly enlightening as well as entertaining. I do have a question about the recent podcast on Punishment being fair to the crime - what happened to the person whose 300,000$ were taken by the authorities? Thank you!!!

I’ve listened to every Planet Money episode. In fact listening to Planet Money helped me make some sound financial decisions. Keep the good stuffs coming.

This pod is great❤️ I love it!!!!

Fantastic!! Please do it again. So fun and the choices really did relate to economics! Thanks so much

Wide-ranging subject matter that provides a good overview of the given topic. Consistently entertaining and informative. Episode notes are helpful in providing additional ways to find out more if you’re inclined to do so. I strongly disagree with the reviews that claim the show has a liberal bias. Interesting that those reviews rarely cite specifics, instead just leveling a generic criticism about the “liberal media”. If anything, I’d say the show has a bias to examine the status quo, which is a good thing when it comes to investigative journalism.

Regarding the episode on Gaza, as unfortunate as it is, please make it known that Hamas has been in charge of Gaza for closer to 20 years, not the two years you say on your episode. I think you should correct that.

This use to be a great show. Over the last several years has completely gone off course. What a shame.

I’ve listened to this podcast for years. It’s a good as it ever was, which is excellent. Thank you for your service.

Planet Money has for years hand a strong political leaning - left ofc as most media is. There are better more objective economic pods out there that we don’t need to endure political takes disguised as economic ones like the stuff we hear on planet money

I’ve listened to planet money for 9 years, and have loved the program. I’ve learned a lot over the years, and at times this has been my favorite program. But the most recent episode on consumers’ perception of inflation felt like a knife in the back; a smug hitpiece on the working class that towed the “everything is fine” line that lost Kamala the election and gaslights the working American in a time when wages have not nearly kept up with inflation. To top it off, it ended by suggesting that consumers not even check prices at the grocery store. Truly, who is this episode for?
