Below are links to various blogs, websites and podcasts we hope you find valuable and informative.

Websites and Blogs:

  • San Francisco Federal Reserve Blog – in-depth articles with insight from Federal Reserve experts, it provides commentary to accompany data and indicators as well as a behind the scenes look at working for the Federal Reserve.

Podcasts:

  • Bloomberg Daybreak– Powered by the massive research and analysis provided by Bloomberg, this show delivers the day’s top financial stories in 15 minutes.
  • Freakonomics – Bearing the same name as the ultrapopular book by Steven J. Dubner, it explores the ‘hidden side of everything’ such as pollution, bananas and human behavior and the impacts on the economy.
  • Planet Money – Journalists explore various topics such as cap and trade policies, political turmoil abroad, artificial intelligence and more and then explain the ties back to the economy and the effects on consumers.
