Money and Media: Presented by FinCon

Nominees for this year’s Plutus Awards have been revealed - and we have Miranda Marquit and Harlan Landes here to share some of the biggest categories with you.

Scott Alan Turner will be hosting the awards, even though his idea of a Rock Opera style show couldn’t get past the permits. But even without the pyrotechnics, the show will explode with energy as Bethany Bayless helps present this year.

But first, we talk with Steve Stewart about how you can record your podcast LIVE at FinCon.
