Million Bazillion: Money Mania Game Show

American Public Media
About this episode

Hi Smash Boom Besties! We want to share an episode from a podcast we know you’ll like — Million Bazillion!

It’s a show that asks and answers questions about money. In the episode we’re sharing today, Million Bazillion hosts its inaugural “Money Mania” game show, where five lucky listeners compete in an elaborate obstacle course to get their questions answered. This week, they’ll tackle questions like: What is profit? Why do receipts have so many words? And, what do stores do with all their leftover holiday stuff?

If you enjoy the show, we hope you’ll listen to all the other great episodes they have to offer!
