Please @Spotify, for the love of everything holy, make separate Queues for podcast and music. Nobody ever is saving an episode to fire just after the next song finishes.

If @planetmoney doesn’t do an episode on Red Lobster’s bankruptcy due to endless shrimp…. I don’t know. I’ll still be a Planet Money plus subscriber but it’ll feel like a wasted opportunity for a great episode!.

Thrilled to mark off "But here's the thing" on my @planetmoney bingo card in the new Patent Pirate episode. In the 1000th show, @GonzalezSarahA mentioned it was a banned phrase and hosts could only use it once in their Planet Money careers. Fun to catch @horowitzghazi use his!

Great work here by the planet money team getting the insurance company to come forward. Nice to also hear from @uri_sohn and Michael Sanders. Beyond the scandal, a good reminder that "priming effects" are small to non-existent.

As I say in the blog post linked up top, “The students in the class, Millie Lin, Tara Parekh, Wenna Qin and Ori Spector, did the hard work of building our bot along with advising from instructor @HennsEggs” 10/10.

Maybe do more deep diving or back catalog listening or checking facts or getting a personalized playlist of episodes. Our bot listed this as the sources for the ‘what is a bond?’ question. If you click you get a section of transcript. 9/
