Any good Economics 101 podcasts?
Hi all,
are there any really good introduction to Economics 101 styled podcasts free online yet? Anything I can subscribe to that will go from the extreme basics up to advanced banking stuff? There's a couple of questions I'm trying to get my head around, but I need to understand the basics first.

so... what's out there?

2. Yes, but the only one I can think of offhand
is the "Wizards of Money" series by Smithy: http://www.robinupton.com/people/WizardsOfMoney/

4. There are many....
There are many good pod casts about the economy, just stay away from the Wall-Street-Whores at CNBC. A couple podcasts come to mind right away. Check out "Financial Sense" on-line (Especially their weekly wrap-up podcats on Saturday). They provide excellent news and guest commentary. Also, you might like "Goldseek.com Radio" http://radio.goldseek.com/> . Their weekly wrap ups on Saturday feature guest speakers and are very comprehensive.
