Customer Reviews
Finally!
Why hasn’t this be the norm? Are women not the gender that encounters economics earlier in life? Who cooks first? Who shops and allocates resources first if not young girls when role playing? Let’s get real- reinforcements and reassurances are necessary for women to forge ahead in areas such as Economics and more. This podcast presents this support. Thank you!
just fine
a previous poster said this “for women” and won’t be listening.
ah, actually this about various economic issues
the thing is it is about economics from the perspective of women
which frankly is refreshing
Seriously??
I just heard the trailer for this podcast. It’s for women. To help us with our economic questions “with answers you can actually understand”. Um, cuz like us women are too stupid to understand regular economics?? How did this make it to air? I won’t be listening
