"Smithy", a mysterious but well-qualified financial insider created this series to explain her profession to Unwelcome Guests listeners. The series used to have its own website, but that was taken down for unexplained reasons. WizardsOfMoney.{com,net,org} are now all occupied by domain squatters. Robin Upton archived the MP3s and transcripts, together with translations by listeners.
