The folks at This American Life have done it again.
Some weeks ago, I posted about their story on The Giant Pool of Money, covering the origins of this crisis in the mortgage-backed securities markets.

Now that the story has moved on to credit-default swaps, and the freeze-up of the financial markets, they've done another story, rather bluntly called "Another Frightening Show About the Economy". It's pretty good, too.

As with the previous show, it's only available for free download for a limited time.

(Thanks to [info]belfrynotes for the pointer!)

I'm sure glad I don't understand most of this...I'd be scared.

Around here, "breaking the buck" gets you 40 pounds of steaks, 30 pounds of sausage and a stuffed and mounted head for over your fireplace. ;)
