Hello and welcome to the proxy for vibes episode of Slate Money, your guide to the business and finance news of the week.

I'm Felix Salmon of Axios.

I'm here with Emily Peck, also of Axios.

Hello.

And we have a very special guest this week.

Elizabeth Spires, welcome.

Thanks for having me.

Introduce yourself, Elizabeth.

We go way back, but who are you?

And what are you up to these days?

Yeah, I think I've known Felix for two decades now from early, early New York blogging days.

But I'm mostly a political commentator these days.

I write a lot of political columns.

But I also co-author the Patert column here at Slate

with my co-author, Athena, and we write about sort of ethics of money issues. We get a lot of

letters about people who are very mad at whatever they inherited. So if you have an issue or a problem that you're dealing with where

you want advice from either of us, you can email, slate anonymously and send us your questions

and your problems. And we will try to help you out.

Exciting. We have no personal finance content in this year's show but maybe maybe that can be

rectified in a future episode can we do an all-advice episode of slate money that would be so

fun oh my god that sounds terrifying i feel like paid art is is less you know what should i do with

my 401k than a financial version of, am I the asshole?
