I know Cory has a link about Harford, but the thing I wanted to chime in about was way down that list, so I’ll just say it: I really enjoy Harford’s other ongoing podcast, 50 Things That Made the Modern Economy. Short, informative bites of history told from an economist’s viewpoint. Maybe a bit dry, but I like it.
