Editorial reviews

This anthology of political and economic educational shorts will resonate with listeners interested in the fallout from two US wars and the Subprime Mortgage Crisis. Among subjects explored are the rise and fall of Lehman Brothers, international criminal tribunals, and a history of the US Federal Reserve. Hosted by iMinds' ensemble cast of television actors, including Luca James Lee and Ellouise Rothwell, these eight minute segments present listeners with a historical and economic context for considering issues that affect their lives in the 2010s. Despite their brief running time, these case studies are packed with a wealth of information, nevertheless rendered clear and easily digestible in the strains of iMinds' capable studio voices.
