Hi, this is Major. I want to tell you about a podcast from Marketplace called

Financially Inclined. Hosted by Financial Literacy Advocate Janelli Espinal,

Financially Incially inclined teaches listeners money lessons

to help young adults live life their own way. The new season of Financially

inclined out now covers topics ranging from how to build credit

and avoid online scams to how to outsmart impulsive buying.

Financially Incl inclined is presented in partnership with Green Light, the debit card and money app for teens.

Green Light helps teens learn to earn, save, spend wisely, and invest.

Tune into financially inclined, wherever you find your podcast. You turn to the slowdown for inspiring thought-provoking poetry and

reflection as a public media program we turn to our community for support.
