Guests: Author Jeff Madrick and independent reporter Ryan Gallagher

Sam might need that chopper again today as we make room for two guests!

First we have author Jeff Madrick. He’ll be on to discuss his latest book, Age of Greed, The Triumph of Finance and the Decline of America, 1970-Present.

We couldn’t get through to him yesterday (international calls are tricky, folks), but we have him today! Independent reporter, Ryan Gallagher (@rj_gallagher) joins us to talk the New Spanish Revolution.

In the Member’s Only Show Sam covers some stories he was unable to get to on the main show and responds to listener phone calls and IMs. To get the entire Majority Report podcast including the Member’s Only Show become a member and get more Sam!
