The Indicator from Planet Money - Why this former banking regulator is writing kids books
That's what Sheila Bair thought, too. As former chair of the FDIC, she noticed many kids and adults weren't quite getting the education they needed. So, she decided to do something about it.
Today on the show: What Sheila Bair has learned about American capitalism as one of its top regulators and how she's trying — one book at a time — to help new generations from falling into its traps.
We learned about Sheila Bair's kids books from listener Erin Vetter. If you've come across anything that makes finance fun, email us! We're at indicator@npr.org.

Everything Everywhere Daily - All About Butter
Ever since humans domesticated animals and realized they could extract milk from them, they have been making and consuming butter.
While we might not think much of butter today, at one point, it was so prized that it was given as an offering to the gods.
While some cultures prized it, others looked down upon it and some elevated the production and use of it as an art form.
Learn more about butter, what it is, how it is made and how it has been used throughout history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
