What The Heckonomics? : An Economics Podcast for the Rest of Us
Actor/Filmmaker/Comedian Jake Lloyd Bacon knows nothing about economics. His best friend Brian is an entrepreneur and economics enthusiast who has set out to fill Jake's brain with as much of his economics knowledge as he can cram into it. In each edition of What The Heckonomics Brian dives into a different topic and the two discuss, in simple terms that Jake can understand, the ins, outs, and all arounds. A casual economics podcast for the lay man filled with facts, bad metaphors, and every now and then an informed opinion. A part of the Dragon Wagon Radio podcast network.
