Joining Bart for this first special show is Lynda Gousha, a listener who knows a heck of a lot more about the financial markets than Bart does! This is the first of what will probably be an on-going but sporadic series of special shows. The idea for the special shows is that they will not be about Apple News, but about something that helps us understand Apple news.

This show is all about the financial markets - who are the players, what drives their actions, what are their goals, and, most importantly, what does all the jargon actually mean?!
