Tune into Planet Money Summer School from NPR, wherever you get their podcasts.
Hi, this is Liam from Richmond, Virginia.
I'm currently petting the belly of a stray cat that has now adopted my wife and I. This podcast was recorded at 1235 p.m.
Eastern Time on Friday, July 18th.
Things may have changed by the time you hear it, but I'll still be giving Maypop a belly rub.
Okay, enjoy the show.
That's so cute.

And I'm Domenico Montanaro, senior political editor and correspondent.
