The Decode Econ Podcast
Economic ideas, clearly explained. Each episode breaks down a concept, trend, or question shaping the economy so you can understand what is happening and why it matters.
Economics, made accessible
Hosted by Dr. Abdullah Al Bahrani, each episode takes a real economic question from labor markets to monetary policy to everyday decision-making and unpacks it with clarity and precision.
No jargon. No partisan spin. Just the kind of rigorous, grounded thinking you would get from sitting down with an economist who actually wants you to understand.
Whether you are a student, a professional, or simply someone curious about the world, Decode Econ gives you the frameworks to think more clearly about the economy around you.
