Planet Money and the hidden laws that run our economy
Wednesday, 8 April, 2026
Planet Money has been making economic news fun since 2008. And now it's the start of a new chapter for the beloved podcast... a whole book’s worth of chapters in fact. Their new book is called Planet Money: A guide to the economic forces that shape your life. On today's episode, Monica and Joshua sat down with Kenny Malone, host of Planet Money, and Alex Mayyasi, business reporter and author of the book, to talk about the hidden laws that control our economy, and how they’re affecting us here in Seattle. If you want to meet Alex and Kenny in person, they will be at Town Hall in Seattle on Monday, April 13th. You can grab your tickets here. Do you have a story idea for us? We'd love to hear about it.
