NPR
This American Life and other NPR programs have featured some good coverage of issues related to our recent economic woes. I don't have a background in finance and economics so it is nice to have some digestible coverage that is intelligent without being boring.
http://www.thislife.org/Radio_Episode.aspx?episode=365 - credit markets, credit default swaps
http://www.thislife.org/Radio_Episode.aspx?episode=355 - about subprime mortgages
(I have the free podcasts for these episodes if anyone wants them via email, rather than streaming over the web.)
NPR has a running Planet Money blog at http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/ and a (daily, I believe) podcast at http://www.npr.org/rss/podcast/podcast_detail.php?siteId=94411890.
