Listen to Planet Money series: Planet Money makes a T-shirt |
|
|
You guys know that I love Planet Money. In 2013, they made a t-shirt and produced stories about the creation from the cotton all the way to the transportation. It blew my mind, and I think about it in relation to international economics all the time! Therefore, I’m asking that you listen to the 7 podcasts by the end of January.
I listed links to the full podcast versions. I understand that you might prefer the shortened radio versions instead, which have been shortened and reorganized. If that’s the case, all of those are listed here: http://www.npr.org/series/248799434/planet-moneys-t-shirt-project. You’ll still get the valuable information.
