This is Planet Money from NPR.

Hey everybody, this is Mary Childs from Planet Money.

Today on the show we're running an episode from our sibling podcast, The Indicator.

They do this regular feature called Overrated Underrated.

We love our friends at The Indicator and we hope you do too.

Hey everyone, this is The Indicator from Planet Money. I'm Cardiff Garcia.

Today on the show we are going to play a game of Overrated versus Underrated

with George Mason economist Tyler Cowan, a frequent guest on the show.

For those of you who haven't heard these episodes before, Overrated versus Underrated

is when we start listing things and then ask our guests to tell us that those things are overrated, underrated, or correctly rated by society.

Most of the things we list are about economics but sometimes we bring in other stuff as well.

And Tyler Cowan actually invented this game and we kind of stull it from him with permission

and since it had been so long since we played it with him,

we thought we'd invite him on to the show to do it one more time.

That is coming up right after the break.
