In about an hour, I’ll be interviewing Ben McKenzie, actor and author of the new book Easy Money: Cryptocurrency, Casino Capitalism, and the Golden Age of Fraud. The episode will air next month on my weekly co-hosted podcast Best New Ideas in Money.

If you use the Voice Memo app on your phone and send us the audio file, we can include your voice in the show!
