I got a big thrill yesterday – an invite to speak on Marketplace Money, the radio show aired on NPR across the country. After scrambling to find a landline (which have the best audio quality), I chatted with producer Stephen Hoffman about unusual ways to start 2011 on solid financial ground. The program airs this Saturday or Sunday, depending on where you live (Friday in Portland, OR).  I’ve posted a few cities’ air times below or view your local air times.
