Show overview
50 Things That Made the Modern Economy has been publishing since 2016, and across the 5 years since has built a catalogue of 110 episodes. That works out to roughly 20 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.
Episodes typically run under ten minutes — most land between 9 min and 10 min — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language Business show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 4.9 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2019, with 47 episodes published. Published by BBC.
