Planet Money
If you want to go beyond the “what” into the deeper “why” the Planet Money podcast will fit the bill. This is an NPR podcast that focuses on various economic topics.

For instance, there is an episode devoted to talking about how food delivery services are changing the French Fry (check out Ep. #946 Fries Of The Future). This topic may be a bit off the wall, but when you think of it, are you a bit intrigued to know more?
