Barbra
Alexander, Radio Ducky & a gaggle of
his friends.
Minced? No need. Barbra
never minces words. And what need for further
spice with Barbra mixing the broth?

Barbra isn't here to
stew over the latest swings in the NASDAQ or which
are the
gainers or losers. No analysts' reports either. But
CEOs, yes and with broader themes. Her show is definitely
about money, but fewer dollars and more sense. Any
idiot can figure out the today's gainers and losers,
but who can tell you how to figure the true cost
of life? Barbra never claims to be the expert. But
she's
good at picking experts, and getting them on the
air to share. And they invariably turn out to be
fun & very
interesting people. Well-known in their areas of
expertise. |

She has hosted
Federal Reserve board members and congressmen,
yes; but also car designers and artist/authors.
There is more to life than just money. Indeed,
while money is a powerful motivator for us,
it's the surprises of life that make it worth
living.

Would you
like to listen to an economist? "No-brainer.
Nah," you might say, with a yawn. But if
you did, you'd be missing out. Barbra's economist,
David Henderson, authored an extremely entertaining
book: "The Joy of Freedom, An Economist's
Odyssey."

Maybe you'd like
to attend a global garage sale. A what? Yep. Daniel
Yergin could tell you all about it. Wanna follow
your bliss? Without starving? Artist Dan Koffman
has just the thing.
Wanna hide your bliss from everybody
else? Or hide yourself? Just ask Ed Pankau, a former
FBI agent who once tracked Mob money-launderers.
And learned their secrets.

But the world's a serious place,with
serious personal & global issues.
Texas Congressman Ron Paul can
describe a scenario - which could be tomorrow's
headlines - under which American soldiers are tried,
not under American law, but in a politics-soaked
World Court at The Hague.
California state Sen. Debra
Bowen can chill you with tales of just how exposed
you are in today's Internet world. Privacy? Better
go back a hundred years. Or be paranoid. VERY paranoid.
Is your company about to be
swallowed and reinvented? Maybe you'll want to
listen to Gary Sutton, a temporary CEO by profession.
Sometimes he saves failing companies. Other times
he shuts them down. If you're feeling vulnerable,
he might help you figure out what your chances
and options are

The crux is that these people aren't
dealing in stock market fantasies, but everyday realities.
Possibilities for self-education, empowerment and
growth. And backing it all is Barbra, with a unique,
no-nonsense, down-to-earth opinion. Barbra says what
she thinks. You can agree wholeheartedly, or come
to the conclusion that she's stuffed with barnyard
byproduct, but either way, you won't be bored. In
fact, it's fun. Barbra not only knows how to have
fun, but how to make sure her listeners are having
fun, as well. And what is the Dow roundup compared
to that?
Duck
Food Alexander, anyone?
