So, continuing on this little money phase I've got going on: Planet Money did a podcast interview with Crazy Eddie. DUDE. I grew up in western Massachusetts, so I was totally close enough to the New York City media markets to see this commercial on TV all the time:
Like, that and Sesame Street. All the time.
So what I didn't realize (and why it makes sense that this would be on an economics podcast) was that Crazy Eddies was guilty of one of the biggest securities fraud cases in history (I feel like I should have known this -- but I moved to eastern Mass fairly early on, and that's like an entirely different world -- more white collar, less redneck). And Planet Money interviewed the guy that snitched on everyone. Suh-hweeeeeet.
Quite possibly one of the most interesting things I've heard in a long, long time. It's insane.

While it appears I'm not quite the fan you are, I too listen to Planet Money three times a week. Good stuff.
