  • Can transforming neighborhoods help kids escape poverty?
    2026/01/28
    In the 1990s, Congress created HOPE VI, a program that demolished old public housing projects and replaced them with more up-to-date ones. But the program went further than just improving public housing buildings. HOPE VI was designed to transform neighborhoods with concentrated poverty into neighborhoods that attracted people with different incomes. Some people who moved to HOPE VI neighborhoods earned too much to qualify for public housing. And some even paid for market-rate housing. The idea was that this would help create new opportunities for the low-income people who lived there and even lift people out of poverty.

    For years though, there wasn’t a clear answer to whether this approach actually succeeded. A new working paper from Raj Chetty and the team at Opportunity Insights finally provides some answers. On today’s show: Who really benefits when people living in poverty are more connected to their surrounding communities? Are there lessons from the HOPE VI experiment that could apply to other kinds of policies aimed at fostering upward mobility?

    More about Opportunity Insights’ study and a link to their interactive map here.

  • A trip to the magic mushroom megachurch
    2026/01/24
    Book tour dates and ticket info here.

    Just as every market has its first movers, every religion has its martyrs — the people willing to risk everything for what they believe. Pastor Dave Hodges just might be a little bit of both. He’s the spiritual leader of the Zide Door Church of Entheogenic Plants, in Oakland, California which places psilocybin mushrooms at the center of their religious practice.

    Today on the show, like its 130,000+ members, we’re going to take a trip through the psychedelic mushroom megachurch. We’ll meet one of the lawyers trying to keep psychedelic religious leaders like Pastor Dave from running afoul of the law, and get a peek into how the government decides whether a belief system counts as sincere religion.

    This episode was reported with support from The Ferriss – UC Berkeley Psychedelic Journalism Fellowship.

  • BOARD GAMES 3: What’s in a name?
    2026/01/22
    Planet Money has teamed up with the company Exploding Kittens to make a board game inspired by the legendary economics paper The Market for Lemons. We’ve decided we want a mass-appeal party game that quietly sneaks in the economics, so that we can report from inside a world that no other Planet Money project has entered: the real shelves at real big box retail stores.

    We have a great game mechanic and a set of rules. Now all we need is a good name and theme.

    Turns out, that is way harder and way higher stakes than any of us could have imagined.

    In the third episode of our series, we learn the importance of a good game name and theme and try to come up with one for our game.

    Find our previous episodes in the board game series, here and here.
