Popular Reviews of Explain It to Me

Fantastic podcast that convinced me to study Economics. Each episode is dedicated to the real implications of policy decisions and the ideas that lie behind day to day politics. If you want to actually understand what matters and why, this is the podcast for you.

This podcast is focused on political ideas, as opposed to partisan politics. If you're more interested in public policy than the horse race, this might be a good fit for you. It has inspired some good conversations for me. I recommend this one.

This is a podcast about nerding out on public policy. If you're someone who looks at the world around you and feels like 'there must be a better way to do some of this stuff than this...' then The Weeds will be a pretty engaging podcast for you! They'll pick different topics and discuss them in depth, looking at how different countries or municipalities have tackled problems and digging through research papers on what sorts of policies seem to work!
