This American Banking Collapse

Last year, public radio's (oMg socializzm!1!) 'This American Life' did a show on the housing bubble, how it related to the growing economic meltdown, and what it all meant for the average Joe. It was explained in a way that would allow anyone to understand it. Now, they have a done a similar followup show... this one focusing exclusively on the ongoing collapse of the U.S. (global?) banking system. If you've been listening to the cable news blather about these matters and found yourself growing dumber by the second, this is the antidote.

It's an hour long; listen to it in the background at work. Assuming you still have a job that is.
