A Spicy Economy

Yesterday someone recommended this brilliant podcast to me and seeing as I like to spread the audio love, here it is, today I'm recommending it to you :)

The programme takes you on a 20 minute journey of how spices travelled across the globe and affected our world economy as they did so.  It's the first time I've listened to a Planet Money programme and I will definitely be tuning in again; each episode takes a concept and examines the economics behind it.  So if you want to get an exciting and captivating way to understand more about the global economy, I can't think of a better way to start.
