He’s Back: David Johnson On PBS Podcast

Business analyst and D CEO contributor David Johnson, who recently left NPR’s Marketplace radio show after nearly two decades, has resurfaced on the web with ex-Marketplace host David Brancaccio, who now hosts the PBS TV program Now. Johnson and Brancaccio, who used to converse weekly about the economy on the radio show, have recorded a “trial” podcast focusing on this week’s financial storm. The podcast should be posted on the Now web site soon, says Johnson, who’s characteristically upbeat about things. “After today’s” bailout proposals, he says, “the average investor ought to have the same sense of well-being as someone who’s been shot at–and missed.”
