Full Review

The Indicator is Planet Money's daily spin-off that covers a single economic concept or story in under ten minutes. The show makes economic literacy genuinely entertaining — covering everything from the Phillips Curve to gig economy labor dynamics with the storytelling polish that NPR is famous for. For investors who want to build a strong foundation in economics without committing to hour-long episodes, The Indicator is the perfect daily companion.

Fun Fact

Planet Money, the parent show, was launched during the 2008 financial crisis to help regular Americans understand what was happening to the economy — and its spinoff has continued that mission with even greater accessibility.
