#Alex Blumberg

[galwednesday]

This week's deep dive rec is TAL: The Giant Pool of Money, a collaboration between This American Life and NPR News, that was the first long-form reporting that really made me understand how the hell subprime mortgage defaults led to a global financial crisis:

This American Life producer Alex Blumberg teams up with NPR's Adam Davidson for the entire hour to tell the story—the surprisingly entertaining story—of how the U.S. got itself into a housing crisis. They talk to people who were actually working in the housing, banking, finance and mortgage industries, about what they thought during the boom times, and why the bust happened. And they explain that a lot of it has to do with the giant global pool of money.

And since one hour isn't as much of a deep dive as usual (an hour and a half if you listen to the new reporting in the second half of their follow-up episode from a year after the financial collapse), I'll double-rec Michael Lewis's The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine which goes even more in-depth on the financial and regulatory mechanisms at work.

#wednesday deep dives #I read The Big Short after consuming a bunch of other related reporting so I can't speak to it as a beginner's guide #but it was written with a general audience in mind and I think the TAL episode would be enough of a primer to make it understandable

[frances-baby-houseman]

If you spend a lot of time googling celebrity heights (honestly who doesn't?) you must listen to this podcast episode. And then listen to all the other episodes-- there was only 1 short season-- of this, the most perfect podcast in the history of podcasts.

And if you listen to these and love them, you then must listen to my still-favorite episode of This American Life, in which Mystery Show creator Starlee Kine writes a breakup song with Phil Collins.

#I love this episode so much that Adam and I talked about it the first time we ever talked #and our rabbi mentioned our love of it in our wedding ceremony

Now that Christmas is right around the corner, I have a podcast episode to suggest : When Small Thoughts Meet Big Brains from This American Life.

Alex Blumberg investigates a little-studied phenomenon: Children who get a mistaken idea in their heads about how something works or what something means, and then don't figure out until well into adulthood that they were wrong. Including the tale of a girl who received a tissue box for Christmas, allegedly painted by trained monkeys. It is a delight from start to finish.

From one of my favorite podcasts, Start-Up:

This week, Alex receives feedback about his job performance from his co-workers, friends, and family. Some of it is good, some less so. But there is something else that comes up during the review process that shocks him.

We explore what happens when you unpack your emotional baggage—or someone unpacks it for you—and you realize the unexpected effect that it has been having on your team.

In this final Gimlet-focused episode of season four, we take a raw and intimate look at a defining moment in the trajectory of a CEO.

It’s an entertaining and emotionally affecting episode on its own and really speaks to how your Shadowed Qualities, your own emotional baggage can affect your organization in a negative and almost subconscious way if you aren’t careful. It’s an unusually emotional, but I think important mediation on leadership.
