    I mostly listen to Bloomberg’s finance podcasts. Stephanomics, Odd Lots, etc. Really good content there. I think Planet Money has lost its way a little with in-depth analysis.

    FWIW I’m not so sure I believe if economists who in the current day primarily focus on depressing wages as a way to break the inflationary spiral are doing so entirely objectively. A large number of these economists are in the employ of companies who benefit from capital vs labor, and would they argue against their own interests?

    If this makes me sound like far left wing, I am not really. But I am also not blind to conscious and unconscious bias in commentary.
