I’ve been listening to the BBC Business Daily podcast, and NPR’s Planet Money podcast, and by far Planet Money provides better analysis and understanding of the subject. Planet Money even did a Keynes v. Hayek episode, which I thought was fabulous!

Since then, I’ve paid more attention to the content of the BBC’s podcasts (the science and technology ones, at least) and more and more I’m finding them rather… crap.

Is it just me? Or is the BBC rather crap at analysis in general? After all, I only really know about the technology side of things.
