The Baseline Scenario

What happened to the global economy and what we can do about it

Simon on NPR Planet Money Today (10/8)

Simon Johnson will be on NPR’s Planet Money podcast today. Planet Money is a new, daily podcast focusing on the financial crisis, and is one of the best places for friendly, accessible reporting on daily events. You can find the podcast feed on the NPR web site, or you can look for Top Podcasts in iTunes. (Planet Money is currently #1, which means it has displaced my favorite radio show, This American Life.) Today’s episode will be available after 5 pm U.S. Eastern time. Once it’s up, I’ll put a direct link on this post.

Update: The podcast is up, and you can listen to it here. Simon is about 12 minutes in, but he is preceded by Amir Sufi, who does a good job describing the relationship between the credit crunch and the ongoing slowdown in the real economy.

  1. Simon, Just heard you on BBC Radio Four this evening – must be the first time since I left CCC in 1984. We live in interesting times! Best wishes, John
