See? Told you I was right about Planet Money.

Just a few days after telling all of you why I'm such a big fan of NPR's new social-powered Planet Money podcast, I had the privilege of appearing on the show myself.

No, they didn’t turn to me for probing analysis of the world markets. But they were responding to an e-mail I had sent them earlier in the day. I asked for their opinion of Jim Cramer’s “get out of the stock market” comments.

After receiving my e-mail, podcast hosts Laura Conaway and Adam Davidson actually called me up to have me ask the question on air. You can hear their response by listening to the podcast here (under the picture of the woman in a bikini and a guy in a bear suit). My question comes in around the 20:20 mark, if you’d like to skip right to it.

While this kind of direct response perfectly illustrates why I was praising Planet Money, I thought it was especially nice that they even took the time to thank me via Twitter.

So cheers (again) to the classy and socially savvy folks over at NPR.
