The economy explained. Imagine you could call up a friend and say, "Meet me at the bar and tell me what's going on with the economy." Now imagine that's actually a fun evening.

Planet Money is an American podcast and blog produced by NPR. Using "creative and entertaining" dialogue and narrative, Planet Money claims to be "The Economy Explained." Episode lengths range between 6-30 minutes and are typically stand-alone episodes. Interviewees/guests range from academic experts, business professionals, to general members of the North American public. Planet Money uses abridged narratives to tackle popular complex topics like American health care or insider trading, in order to make popular economic issues more approachable to audiences without an academic background in economics. Providing listeners with primary source material, the podcast's host contributes contextual framing and commentary. The intimate stories are used as a leading thread and the podcast uses commonplace language with entertaining plots to describe abstract or complex economic and political issues.
