I will put up a few posts this weekend, but for now enjoy these two pieces of fine media on the financial crisis. The first is the latest episode of This American Life. They have already produced some of the most lucid reporting on the financial crisis that I've seen with the episodes: The Giant Pool of Money and Another Frightening Show About the Economy. Now they have another episode on the collapse of the banking system. I can't say how it is as it just came out this week and I haven't had a chance to hear it, but I'm sure it's great. It's called, simply, Bad Bank.
The second piece is from last night's episode of The Daily Show. Stewart tears into CNBC for some of its atrocious coverage of the sub-prime crisis.

This is a good collection of financial mess material. This is what happens when smart people convince themselves they can't do wrong. My favorite quote - "the triumph of data over good judgement" ...something we will need to fight for the next several years.
