I'm Determined Not To Sit This Out.

So a ways back, I talked about how some podcasts are helping me to not sit out on some big issues of the day. "Luckily," the big issue going on right now is the whole recession and stuff, so I sort of can't help but be on board just by listening to Planet Money (Alex Blumberg cracks me up).
