On todays podcast I was happy to host Mary Childs, co-host of NPR’s Planet Money, a podcast I have enjoyed for quite a while, and author of the recently released book “The Bond King: How One Man Made a Market, Built an Empire, and Lost It All”.
Throughout our conversation we talked about who Bill Gross really is, how he created the secondary bond market, pushed everyone to the limit and his eventual decline. I hope you enjoy!
