I used to listen to Planet Money, but it’s devolved over the same dumbed-down drivel that dominates NPR these days:

“Money has always been used to buy goods, but did you know you can also use it to buy services? Here’s some pop culture reference comparison to fake a narrative.”

I think the show started suffering when NPR turned every show into a podcast; it removes the ability to cater to a more focused audience because you have to waste half the show doing background.
