Hello and welcome to the very special books edition of Slate Money. I'm excited about this one.

I've been lining it up for a little while. Slate Money is normally your guide to

the Business and Finance News of the week, but this week we are taking a step back

into the wonderful world of non-fiction books, many of which are fabulous.

And on today's show we have not one but two special guests

here to tell us all about their new books.

This is excellent.

First, we are going to talk to John Lancaster about his book

How to Speak Money and then the very talented Jake Halpin will join us and talk

about his book Bad Paper chasing debt from Wall Street to the

underworld and we'll close with a discussion of our favorite money books and the

ones that have most shaped

our thinking. Thanks to listener David Katz for that suggestion. But first let me

introduce my regular guests Kathy O'Neill, the data scientist and blogger at mathbabe.org.

Hi Felix.
