Discover the remarkable life and career of Janet Yellen, the trailblazing economist from Brooklyn who became the first person in American history to lead the Council of Economic Advisers, the Federal Reserve, and the United States Department of the Treasury. The Janet Yellen Biography Flash podcast delivers a comprehensive, carefully sourced biography of one of the most consequential economic figures of our time, along with regular updates on the latest news and events surrounding her ongoing legacy. Hosted by Marc Ellery, this show traces Yellen's extraordinary journey from her early years in Brooklyn through her summa cum laude graduation from Brown University, her PhD in economics from Yale, and her academic career at Harvard and UC Berkeley. Follow her rise through the highest levels of American economic policy, from her groundbreaking tenure on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors under President Clinton to her role as Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers during the Asian Financial Crisis.

Explore her historic appointment as the first woman to chair the Federal Reserve, her careful stewardship of the post-recession recovery, and her landmark confirmation as the first female Secretary of the Treasury under President Biden, where she navigated pandemic economics, rising inflation, and complex global challenges.
