Today I'm thankful for: Planet Money

Today (and every day) I'm thankful for the Planet Money podcast.

They uncover stories I never would hear about otherwise, like this week's great episode on the (second) Bank of the United States, its downfall, and the subsequent Panic of 1837 (http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2017/03/24/521436839/episode-761-the-bank-war).  I dimly recall learning something about this in eighth grade U.S. history, but Planet Money explains it in a way that sticks.  Planet Money discusses economics and history in a way I can understand, and I am thankful.
