The giant pool of money

Last month, this american life did a show about the suprime mortgage crisis. (You can listen to it here) It was a collaboration with NPR but really a very well done show and breaks down the whole situation very nicely. Unfortunately, Ira Glass is sick during this episode and as a result sounds like a habitual chain smoker but I urge all of you to listen to some other episode so you can appreciate how “radio-friendly” Ira’s voice really is.
