You're listening to The Young Turks, the online news show. Make sure to follow and rate our show with

not one, not two, not three, not four, but five stars. You're awesome. Thank you. Tariffs, meme coins,

Girl Scout cookies. What do they all have in common? Come on, it's all about the money.

Economics is everywhere and everything,

fueling our lives, even where we least expect it.

If you're a fan of TYT and you wanna learn something new

and exciting about economics every week,

I recommend you listen to the Planet Money podcast

from NPR.

Planet Money's a different kind of world

where the complex economy actually makes sense,

where human stories supersede abstract theories, and where listeners can learn, laugh, and be entertained.

It's economics down to earth.

Planet Money dives into economic issues and adds so much clarity in an engaging way for people who care

about how government policy and corporate behavior impact everyday people. From the job market

to the stock market to supermarket prices, Planet Money is here to help explain it all. The

Planet Money team lives to tell a good story in about 30 minutes, so it's basically

econ for the rest of us.

Now the Planet Money hosts go to great lengths to help explain the economy.

They've done things like shoot a satellite into space, become a record label, make a comic

book, and shorten the entire stock market.

All to help you better understand the world around you.
