Predicting the Winner

I'm not sure what radio's equivalent to the Pulitzer is–the Peabody? No matter what it's called, here's what's going to win it: This American Life's Bad Bank, Act 1. Created with the help of staff from one of my podcast faves, Planet Money, the heavily promoted show helps explain the banking crisis simply, and even senators are talking about it. (Check out the short clip below to see what they've got to say, inarticulately, at 2:23:30.)

Listen to the hour-long show via podcast for free through this weekend. After that, it'll set you back a buck.
