Popcorn Economics | Ash Anderson

Every business has its popcorn.

Movie theaters don't really make their money on tickets. They make it on the popcorn. Popcorn Economics finds the popcorn in the businesses you deal with every day: where Disney, fast food chains, warehouse clubs and your card swipe actually make their money, and why things cost what they do.

Every episode ends with one money lesson for your own life.

New Shorts most days, plus a deeper breakdown every week, including "What Does ___ Actually Do?", on the companies working behind the scenes.

Every number comes from company filings and primary sources. Each story has its sources and an interactive visual at popcorneconomics.com.

Hosted by Ash Anderson, a maker who works in technology and has always been obsessed with how businesses work.
