@taniwharugby Started listening to the Ponzi episode after seeing this today, already think it will become one of my regulars.

I think I may have mentioned Two Cents Worth before.
It's a collaboration between Newsroom and RNZ which takes a slightly irreverent look at topical financial / economic issues and makes them easily understandable in 20 minute bites.
Usually. However the latest episode is different in tone and I highly recommend it. It reports on the Mortgage Swaps issues that affected the farming sector around the GFC and basically pulls no punches as it goes after ANZ in particular. It's a quick summation and isn't aggressive but its bloody obvious what they think of the big banks and successive governments lackadaisical attempts to reign them in.
I found it quite moving. It touches on some amazing stories as it details tales of lives wrecked (and ended) by the greed of the banking community.
The Banks, the Swaps and the Suicide Box
The disastrous impact of banks selling risky financial derivatives to farmers is still being felt in rural communities more than a decade later. How did it happen and how can we stop banks doing it again?

There’s a podcast about Dolly Parton from the this American life people, it’s pretty interesting to see how she’s viewed in the music industry and her influence.
@Bones theres a lot about your people in there . They trace a lot of music and it’s roots and influences from places you wouldn’t expect.

@jegga cheers I'll give it a bash! And then have a listen to the podcast you mentioned.
@Nepia Unravel Season 4 was a good break from the norm for a "crime" series.
INTRODUCING — Snowball - ABC listen

Seeing as episode 4 only just came out that's probably about right! To be fair I haven't been listening as intently this episode but it's an intriguing story.

There's f 105 pilots and world war 2 aircraft gunners interviewed in there. I think the commercial angle pays for the more interesting interviews
