I'm glad Guy Raz will get to speak directly to children about how magical and infallible the free market is.

My almost 5-year-old thinks this one is right up there with Sawbones, even considering that "they don't even talk about poop but it's still really good."

This is a great idea. Are podcasts for little kids a thing? It should be.

My seven-year old is really enjoying this so far. Right up there with Mystery Hour with James O'Brien.

Are you sure you're not mixing Guy with Kai?

This is a podcast aimed at educating children about new advances in science and technology. It contains no economic theory and as far as I can tell, no politics.
