You don’t need to major in economics to enjoy the Planet Money podcast from NPR. This spin-off from the This American Life Podcast will educate you on all sorts of topics that revolve around money.
Wanna learn about branding and vodka? The history of the Social Security number? About the hop market? Yes, they do talk about beer on occasion. This show is a tight 15-20 minutes, perfect for a short commute or drive to a brewery tap room.
You will need to stay sharp so I would suggest drinking a Firestone Walker lager or perhaps a Verdugo West Gigil lager because maybe, in the future, the pod will talk about the hot new trend of pilsners and lagers.
