Hi everyone this is Roman Mars I mean this is 99% invisible I'm Roman Mars so I was out all last week at the

TED conference I gave a talk it went great I'll let everyone know when the

video is released I just had this amazing time, but I'm exhausted and I need a week off to recuperate. So the episode I want to rebroadcast is an old one, but it's a favorite of mine and I remembered it when I was a Roman I suspect that you're a really good person to talk to at a cocktail party because you can come up with a really good rant about whatever is on your mind.

What if you what is your other favorite design rant?

Favorite design rant? I can complain about US money for a long time.

What is it about US money?

So that's what this episode is about. My problem with American Money.

It dates back a few years to when the show was just a one-man operation, so I hope you like it.

While I have you here at the beginning of the show, I have a couple of business items.

First is that we have a survey that I'd love for you to fill out.

It lets us know how we're doing and

demographic data about who you are and what podcast you like. So it would really help

us out. Go to survey nerds.com slash 99. We'll also have a link on our website. It just takes a few minutes.

I also want to give an extra shout out to some of the musicians who are regulars on 99.

Keegan DeWitt, who I first discovered as the composer of the cold weather sound track, we use it a lot, he is brilliant.

Okay Akumi and all the artists on Hell Audio are fantastic.
