Kenny Malone

debrief on this eight years later but debrief yes very happy to be here kenny it's like a it's like a therapy session all right so uh eight years on what do you think about being pulled in to prove parkinson's law point how was that on the one hand i still get like night sweats about that level of uh in the moment uh stress yeah but you know on the other hand i think it really uh

It really taught me you just got to get out there and talk to people and make it make sense.

So on the whole, feel pretty good about it.

Okay.

Okay.

That's a very positive review.

We obviously, we give you a little bit more time on episodes these days.

And I do feel like I haven't seen you in months because we've given you a lot of time on a very specific project.

Alexi's working on a series based on, wait for it listeners, the Planet Money book.

Yes, it is a little bit coincidence that Alexi's here, but it does work out great.

Not SpawnCon.

Can you tell us a little bit about the book?

Yeah.

So the book basically does a version of what we do here on the show.

It applies an economics lens and a playful, whimsical sensibility to looking at everything in the economic world.

Everything from tiny choices you make every day, like what to eat for breakfast, to who you pick for your life partner, to what do you do with your free time?

So there's a lot of great stories Planet Money listeners will recognize and a ton of new reporting and new stories they're going to love.

Okay.

So April 7th book.

It is a deadline also.
