Nothing makes me happier than seeing a new Money Talks episode among my podcasts. This group of knowledgeable, articulate and yet jovial friends enlightens the audience with substantial conversations and interviews. The economics rarely goes over my head but I am sure is satisfying to business professionals too. Along with the other Economist podcasts Money Talks is worth so much more than the subscription cost.

I look forward to this podcast every week. The hosts are intelligent and witty. I enjoy the interesting variety of topics, and I gain new knowledge and perspectives from every show. Great stuff!!

Hello,
I never miss an eposode of the podcast. Top notch, consistently.
Howver, it would be made perfect if the 3+ min or so intro to each show with previews of later material, was cut back to <60 seconds.
It is widely acknowledged that overly lengthy podcast intros overly annoy loyal listeners.

You should do an episode on the economics of podcasts. Do ads not provide enough revenue? Why switch to a subscription model? What will be the impact on number of subscribers? Are podcast listeners more or less likely to read your news articles than non-listeners? Will podcast subscription fees also decrease website traffic?
