money, money, money


Back in October on the way home from the Vegas Ragnar race, we listened to an episode of This American Life called, Return To The Giant Pool Of Money which discussed in a really understandable way last year's economic collapse. Like really, everyone should listen to it (and probably also the original The Giant Pool Of Money too).

And part of the reason it was so understandable is because of the Planet Money guys, who know how to take financial talk and turn it into normal people talk. I thought they were great and Aaron informed me that they have a podcast every week where they talk in normal person talk about whatever crazy financial stuff is happening in the country. And Aaron subscribes to it.

So the very next week when I heard an ad on the radio saying those Planet Money guys, Alex Blumberg and Adam Davidson were coming to Salt Lake for an interview I got us tickets. What a great girlfriend!

That interview was last week and it was very cool and informative and mostly filled with grownups. But we were okay because Aaron was wearing a cardigan.



Seriously though, listen to those guys.

Oh, Aaron has missed way too many family dinners! Short hair, no beard? That glimpse I got of him last week was clearly not enough!
