I want to give a shout out to NPR’s program, This American Life, for their “Continental Breakup” story that aired a couple of weeks ago. The program focuses on the Euro and the implications of the current financial crisis in Europe. My boyfriend, who knows very little about politics or the economic policies of the EU, was absolutely riveted, so I thought students might be similarly taken with it. Listen to “Continental Breakup“ on their site or download it for 99 cents.
