Summary
Kai Ryssdal breaks the fourth wall and shares highlights from his trip to China with Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen (it was “amazeballs”). Plus, U.S. pandemic relief packages helped millions of businesses stay afloat in 2020. But cybersecurity holes paved the way for fraudulent claims. Can the federal government hold these scammers accountable? And how Morocco’s national women’s soccer team is making history.
Here’s everything we talked about today:
- “Yellen: U.S. intends to be ‘transparent about the actions that we’ve taken’ when it comes to China” from Marketplace
- “The Trillion-Dollar Grift: Inside the Greatest Scam of All Time” from Rolling Stone
- “Earth is at its hottest in thousands of years. Here’s how we know.” From The Washington Post
- “Morocco’s historic Women’s World Cup debut inspires girls even if some in the Arab world ignore it” from AP News
