The Economy and This American Life

Dear Family,

I listen to a radio show every week called "This American Life." Recently they've done two shows on the economy that present what's happening in terms that we can all understand. I thought I'd share those two shows with you. The first is called "The Giant Pool of Money" and it's mostly about what happened with the housing crisis. The second is called "Another Frightening Show About the Economy" and it's about the rest of the financial crisis.

There are a couple of ways to listen to them. If you want to download them onto ITunes or your IPod They're 95 cents each. But you can listen to them on www.thisamericanlife.org for free. I've attached links for both shows.

Another Frightening Show About the Economy

I hope you find them educational too.
