Planet Money Live!

With Jacob Goldstein and David Kestenbaum

Thursday, 23 Oct 2014 at 8:00 pm – Great Hall, Memorial Union

David Kestenbaum and Jacob Goldstein are correspondents with NPR's Planet Money team. Their stories, which are heard by millions of listeners on Morning Edition, All Things Considered and This American Life, explain the economy with humor and insight. The Planet Money team understands the economy by diving in - and brings audiences along for the ride. They made T-shirts, and followed them from a Mississippi cotton field to a factory in Bangladesh and back to the U.S. again. They bought one of the toxic assets that nearly destroyed our economy - and met the homeowners inside it. In addition to his work at NPR, Jacob Goldstein has written for The New York Times Magazine and The Wall Street Journal, among other publications. He has degrees from Columbia and Stanford. David Kestenbaum has been a correspondent at NPR for fifteen years and holds a PhD in physics from Harvard and was a Fulbright scholar. Greater Iowa Credit Union Business Lecture Series
