This post contains lists of many reliable experts (economists and scholars), smart laypersons, organizations, podcasts, and websites to follow in order to learn Modern Money Theory (MMT). For good first things to read, see this post: Good first academic papers to learn MMT (for the layperson).

This post was last updated December 12, 2020. Disclaimer: I have studied MMT since February of 2018. I’m not an economist or academic and I don’t speak for the MMT project. The information in this post is my best understanding but I don’t assert it to be perfectly accurate. In order to ensure accuracy, you should rely on the expert sources linked throughout.

MMT-based podcasts
The following podcasts are fully or largely dedicated to the topic of MMT:
- (My own podcast) Activist #MMT (Twitter): Deep dives, the basics, and personal stories by both academics and average people, of how they discovered and were changed by MMT.
- The MMT Podcast (Twitter): Deep dives and 101s.
- Money On The Left (Twitter): MMT in an interdisciplinary context.
- Macro and Cheese (Twitter) by Real Progressives: A balance of MMT and progressive topics.
- Mike Norman’s MMT podcast (Twitter: Mike is an investor. Here’s his blog.)
- Superstructure Twitter: The sister-podcast of Money on the Left, dedicated to politics and other topics, through an MMT lens.
- Pocket Change (Twitter): Ten episodes (last episode released January 2019) with MMT academics.
The following podcasts are not dedicated to the topic of MMT, but are, or endeavor to be, fully compliant with the MMT project. (I’m sure there’s more.):
- Historic-ly (Twitter) by Esha Krishnaswamy: Basically, the truth about history, in the face of the fire-hose of whitewash by academia and corporate media. Has several episodes about money. (I’ve recorded several non-economic episodes for Historic-ly.)
- Physics Podcast (Twitter) recently interviewed the hosts of MMT Podcast {parts one and two.
