Excellent Show With Relatable Approach to Finance

I recommend this show to kids and adults all the time because it makes finance very accessible. Her playful approach to the topic, vibrant personality and relevant guests keep you listening even if you dread thinking or hearing about finance. Good job & keep it up! PS: Market Place & the NPR sphere need more Indigenous Hispanic hosts on air to stay relevant. We are your past, present and future. Fyi: Argentinians are Europeans - “white” people.
