Episode list[edit]

Although the episode list was an excellent contribution to the article it took up far too much space. I modified the Infobox podcast template to include a list of episodes, and then moved the list of episodes to List of Planet Money episodes. ~ Fopam (talk) 21:09, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Debut Date?[edit]

There is a This American Life episode from August 1998 (Episode 109: Notes on Camp) which features Adam Davidson and credits him as a founder of Planet Money. Podcasts didn't exist in 1998, so was Planet Money around in some other form prior to its 2008 podcast debut? This Wikipedia entry doesn't make any mention of existence pre-2008, but clearly it was around. 198.147.10.56 (talk) 20:39, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The podcast was founded in 2008. The transcript says "Adam Davidson is now a member of our Planet Money team," which is true. Perhaps the 1998 episode has had updated biographical information added? See here for confirmation "In 2008, after our Giant Pool of Money show, Alex Blumberg and Adam Davidson started Planet Money as a co-production of our show and NPR News. They have a thrice weekly podcast and a blog and http://www.npr.org/money." Gareth Jones (talk) 14:26, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't have thought that the content of the This American Life episode would have been altered after broadcast. The reference to Davidson being part of Planet Money is also in the audio of the TAL episode. 198.147.10.56 (talk) 19:48, 8 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Planet Money Team[edit]

There's an original team member missing from the former list. Super early on, Laura Conaway was David and Adam's producer: https://twitter.com/oleta She left fairly early on, maybe even in that first year, but she was key to getting it off the ground. She should definitely be on the list. (((I can't remember my login but this is @BradyDale on Twitter) 74.90.250.150 (talk) 20:15, 19 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
