Great podcast, very informative.
Interesting economics-related stories

Found it from the Freakonomics podcast and enjoyed the episodes they included in that podcast stream: one about the money writers and artists make from old songs (e.g., My Sharona) and about a guy who made a business from recycling old leftover hotel soaps
