    Two of my favorite podcasters are back together again in a wonderful new show. I have every expectation that Business History will become one of my favorites. Jacob and Robert are curious and insightful and they have terrific chemistry. This show has all the ingredients of something special, just like the early days of Planet Money. I’m excited!
