NPR, Planet Money

If you want something short and easy to listen to, tune into NPR Planet Money. Not all of the financial topics will be of interest but you will find some gems. Favorites so far:

Episode 729 "When Subaru came out".  This a great story and demonstrates what good management is capable of in business.

Episode 863 "The 13th hole". This is an eye opener to charity events and the rich hiding money.

Episode 454 "The Lollipop War". I thought the business of lollipops would be easy...

Episode 853 "Peak Sand". Sand thieves, smuggling? Who would have thought. Who is the biggest importer of sand? Hint: Not the US

Episode 864 "The Central Bankers".  Good listen for all you armchair economists. It gets a little complicated.
