Introducing a new podcast from Lend An Ear Media - the "10 Key Podcast". Join hosts, Dan Ancheta, Matt Larrabure, and Ramsay Brown to discuss personal finance, economic, and social issues in the context of three guys that work in difference finance disciplines.

In this pilot episode of the 10 Key Podcast, we discuss the dark side of banking, including the use of incentives to drive sales, overdraft fees, and the fine print that consumers often overlook.
