This is audio of part of an interview Planet Money's Adam Davidson did with TARP watchdog Elizabeth Warren. It features Warren and Davidson going at it pretty heatedly about what Warren's role should be. The interview subsequently illicited this apology (at about 1:50) in which someone hinted that Davidson's interview was sexist ( he wouldn't have spoken with Tim Geithner like that) and then this scolding by NPR's Ombudsman. All of which made the interview all that much more interesting and people. I am sure it is the most even listened to Podcast from Planet money.
