Planet Money produces a radio show for NPR that attempts to simplify economics for the non-econ majors among us, who are interested in understanding what a credit default swap is, why Ireland has gone broke, and how economic aid is or is not helping Haiti. They do a great job of taking complicated economic theories and making them understandable in an entertaining way. You can download their twice weekly podcast from NPR.com or listen for them on NPR news shows.
They also have a great blog that is updated regularly and it is there that I found the most amzing graph ever. This is a 4 minute video that tracks the world's countries economic growth versus their life expectancies. You can see the incredible increase in both since the 1890's, very positive stuff.
