Moody's Talks - Inside Economics - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This podcast has turned me into an amateur economist. I began listening a couple of years ago and didn’t understand every term or acronym. Mark, Cris, Marisa and guests take time to explain the concepts as they discuss the real world through an economic lens and the Economy through a real world lens.

Although Mark’s son may disagree, I find their banter enjoyable. Like any great podcast, I am happy to spend some time in my car, on a run, or perhaps “on the couch” with my podcast economist friends.

I tune in to every show for the intellectual discussions and to provide, at least, a weekly fix of intelligent conversation. Insights gained from the show have allowed me to better articulate my view of the world to customers, family, and friends. As a burgeoning amateur economist, I am better prepared to argue Economic Policy and Politics to other nerds who would listen to such things.

Podcasts can be very personal to the listener. After a while, the hosts, topics, and language (Zandyisms) become a part of your life and routine. Two weeks ago, Cris used the term, “I’m just saying” against Mark and after Cris had quickly won a round of the Statistics Game. I must have looked the fool as i burst out laughing, hearing this quip through my headphones.

My only complaint about Inside Economics is it is only a weekly show. I smile extra wide when I see that there will be a bonus episode and I that I will have the team along one more drive or run that week.

I have, and will continue, to recommend this as the best podcast. Thank you team!

I have been listening since the show debuted and haven’t missed more than 10% of the episodes. Mark has an exceptional facility for the stats but also has no fear taking positions that contradict them when he feels they’re wrong. Chris is wonkier and always tempers Mark’s animal spirits. And Marissa, who replaced Ryan, is the true numbers thinker of the show. The collection of them almost always circle the truth, and they haven’t missed a major call since I started listening. Admittedly they’re maybe a little less funny than they think, but they’re the sharpest economists out there.

Inside Economics is great podcast for anyone interested in understanding the financial and current economic circumstances in the world and especially in the US. I’ve had a few Econ classes which are helpful but not necessary in gleaning the information presented. The moderators do a wonderful job at explaining unfamiliar terms and concepts that are used during the show. I’m quite impressed how patiently these concepts and specific situations are explained at length.
Again if your interested in economics, both retrospectively and the possibilities in the near future this show is for you.

Marissa, Chris, and Mark are the professional economists that you wish you could parse through the weeks news with every Friday. They dedicate lots of their time and energy to share their disparate views on the weeks happenings through the lens of their50+ years of joint experience, along with their esteemed guests.

This is the best free news source that help the curious American make sense of the often conflicting and confusing news and published figures measuring where the economy and the American zeitgeist are on any particular Friday.

Longtime listener and appreciative fan of their work.
