I've enjoyed listening to Marketplace Money for a long time, and I've learned a lot about personal finance over the years. Now I feel compelled to write because the New Orleans show is one of the best radio presentations I've ever heard. You didn't shy away from the hard truth. And Tess Vigeland's closing piece was phenomenal. I hope this episode gets the airplay it deserves. There are stories of heroes and of hope, but overall, we have failed this fine city. Thank you for casting a light on it.
