Unhedged - The Financial Times have a decent set of podcasts, which cover everything from personal finance to extra bits that accompany articles from their popular Weekend editions. Their latest, Unhedged, recorded from both the UK and the US, tries to explain the wider issues in the economy in layman's terms (which helps as I got a B at GCSE maths.)
New episodes are out every Tuesday and Thursday, the first of which looks at the signs that a recession is on its way, and whether you can accurately predict the future of the economy. It’s a good explainer into why things are the way they are.
