professorialBack in May, This American Life did an hour-long episode explaining the mortgage crisis. It's received a great deal of acclaim ... it explained the core causes of the mortgage crisis in plain, ordinary English, and did it without being condescending. I listened to it in July and was astounded. (You can still listen to the episode online from the link above, or spend a buck to download it.)
This week, the same folks are back with a follow-up episode about the market crisis and the bailout. I just finished listening to it, and they've done another fantastic job of explaining stuff in plain English. I learned a lot by listening to it. I heartily recommend it to you. (And you can download the MP3 for free for the rest of the week ...)
