Layoffs and interest rates and Bear Stearns, oh my! We get the latest economic news from New York Times business editor and columnist Gretchen Morgenson. Plus: in finance and out of work. We open our phones for people who used to work on Wall Street—until the credit crunch hit. We want to know what—and how--you’re doing now. And: art (talk) therapy by phone, and what we talk about when we talk about Islam.
Market Stall
Gretchen Morgenson, assistant business and financial editor and columnist at The New York Times, discusses the latest economic news, including the Fed's rate cut and the Bear Stearns sale.
Open Phones
About 30,000 people with Wall Street jobs have been let go since the beginning of the mortgage crisis last fall, and more layoffs are expected. Have you lost your job? Or are you making plans in case you’re laid off? We want to hear from you.
Art Talk Therapy
Need advice? Bert Rodriguez, conceptual artist, will offer "art therapy" (meaning therapy from an artist) to listeners and talk about his piece In the Beginning. . ., part of the Park Avenue Armory extension to the Whitney Biennial.
Why Can't We Talk About Islam?
Eboo Patel, executive director of the Interfaith Youth Core, discusses his autobiography Acts of Faith: The Story of an American Muslim, the Struggle for the Soul of a Generation (Beacon, 2007). We also get his thoughts on the role religion is playing in the Presidential campaign, and his reaction to Barack Obama's speech yesterday on race and the Reverend Jeremiah Wright.
Crowdsourcing: Hillary Clinton’s Schedule
Hillary Clinton just released 11,000 pages of her schedule as First Lady. The papers were released after New York Times reporters and the conservative group Judicial Watch filed freedom of information requests and they give a glimpse into her priorities as First Lady. She frequently refers to her work as First Lady as a credential for her White House bid, but until now the Clinton Library has not released her day-to-day schedules. WNYC’s political director Andrea Bernstein invites listeners to pore through and see what’s there.
