Happy 10th Anniversary Planet Money!

In honor of 10 years of Planet Money, the Planet Money team picked out their 10 favorite episodes

Planet Money is turning 10 years old. It was a risky venture from the start. Planet Money launched as the 2008 financial crisis was hitting full swing, with the ambitious goal of trying to make sense of the big economic forces that were moving the economy in real time, and with stories the average, non-expert would actually want to listen to. If that weren't enough, Planet Money was going to do it with a podcast, a new medium most people hadn't heard of yet.

Ten years later, the economy is roaring ahead, podcasts have exploded as a medium, but there's still plenty of stories to tell and the economic drama continues new characters and, the team picked out 10 of their favorite episodes, good places to start if you are new to or podcasts in general. Enjoy.
