Spy Car Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 If the issues involved in the nation's banking crisis have your head-spinning, and you wish some one would objectively break it all down for you, in terms you can actually understand, then you may want to listen to this weeks program from the NPR series This American Life. This episode entitled "Bad Bank" (the third in a series on the financial crisis) does a truly wonderful job explaining what's going on with the banks and the challenges involved in trying to "fix" the problem. http://www.thisamericanlife.org/Radio_Episode.aspx?episode=375 Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colleen Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Glad you posted this, Bill, as I'd thought about it as well. Listening to this would be a worthwhile lesson for older students, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jane in NC Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 My sixteen year old son recommended that I listen to this program after he heard it on Saturday. He said that he had a clearer understanding of recent news after hearing the explanations provided. Thumbs up on this one. Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELaurie Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I've been listening to All Things Considered and Marketplace regularly in recent weeks, just trying to wrap my mind around the enormous implications of this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
