Confused by this whole economy thing?

I love business and economics, mainly because I'm a dork. Despite the fact that I love these topics recent events have been somewhat confusing to me. I found these podcasts (or just audio downloads if you're sans ipod) VERY helpful.

Of course, they're from NPR, but then I'm a public radio addict too...

The Giant Pool of Money: explains the housing crisis, the hows and the whys

Another Frightening Show About the Economy: explains what's in the bail out plan, what the store for us, and so forth.

There are also transcripts available if listening isn't your thing. You can also find them on itunes, FOR FREE!
