Fans of the economics podcast Planet Money were treated to a specal two-part series on publishing in March. The series was inspired by the decision to create a Planet Money book because “books have the power to shape whole economic systems… and everything else in our world.”

The series is still available for listening through the NPR website at https://www.npr.org/series/g-s1-112661/planet-money-makes-a-book.

Fans of the podcast can also learn more about the final book produced at a Literary Arts event on April 14 in Beaverton, Oregon, at The Reser. Tickets are available through the Literary Arts website at https://literary-arts.org/.

Planet Money’s two-part series started with “Inside a BOOK auction” and concluded with “Our BOOK vs. the global supply chain.” Both episodes are available for listening from a variety of podcast services or transcripts can be downloaded by clicking on the NPR/Planet money image above.
