Not sure how to feel about today’s economy? Perhaps putting it to music will help. Today we’re dedicating the entire show to the economic anthems of this moment. We’ll play a round of Name That Tune with songs our dear listeners submitted. Plus, Kai and Kimberly will share their song picks!

Here’s everything we talked about today:

- Bleachers: “I Wanna Get Better” on YouTube

- R.E.M.: “It’s the End of the World as We Know It (and I Feel Fine)” on YouTube
