A new weekly video podcast from American Public Media and Marketplace seeks to change that by demystifying wealth building and personal finance for audiences traditionally excluded from the field, reports Marah Eakin of Current.
Eakin reports, “Hosted by veteran financial journalist and Pulitzer Prize finalist Lee Hawkins, Must Be the Money blends cultural storytelling and frank discussion with financial advice, all with the aim of reaching an audience of Black and Latino college students and young professionals.
“Produced in partnership with For the Culture by the Culture Media and All the Smoke Productions, Must Be The Money features weekly chats with luminaries of color, all of whom have made their mark in the financial world. The series’ premiere episode, which dropped May 18, finds Hawkins chatting up Angie Nwandu, founder of the popular entertainment news platform The Shade Room.
“The first season consists of 10 episodes, each 30–45 minutes long. Other episodes will feature guests including Revolt CEO Detavio Samuels, TV host Van Lathan, former L.A. Laker Matt Barnes, and BlackRock Managing Director Jabari Magnus.”
