In this episode I introduce and examine how a quirky book assigned to me in high school formed the inspiration behind this podcast and its title.

The words “naked” and “economics” don’t normally appear together, and for good reason. Nudity is super personal and intimate, and economics is not only global, but also nerdy. This episodes introduces a book from my high school, called Naked Economics, that bridges the personal and global together. In fact, this book is the inspiration behind this podcast and its title! Listen and you’ll see what I mean.. I hope you enjoy, and eventually stop thinking about nudity.

It’s rare to think of the words “naked” and “economics” in the same phrase. The idea of nudity is highly personal, and yet the idea of global economics is highly nerdy and complex. This episode explains how a single economics book from high school sews the intersection of the personal and the global together, and how that same book is the source of inspiration for this podcast and its title. Enjoy!

In this episode I’ll be introducing myself and the podcast. The podcast is called “Today” and is a metaphor for the many things that one can think about in a day’s time. Similar to the podcast, This American Life, Today will explore and comment on the different themes and facets of daily life. This will include commentary and guest interviews on politics, people’s jobs, and other daily considerations. Hope you enjoy your day with Today!

An overview of the podcast, where ordinary people can be celebrated as extraordinary.
