Titans of Finance writer R. Walker interviewed by E*Trade On Air live streaming webcast
Gainesville, Florida, May 25, 2001: E*TRADE On Air, a streaming radio
show that airs live Monday-Friday on E*TRADE's website from 9-10am ET,
and all day on demand, interviewed
R. Walker, writer of Titans of Finance, today about Alternative
Comics' September comic book release.
Following a flashy intro, "Faster than a rallying tech stock, stronger
than a bullish market, the Titans of Finance! A comic book about
money and business! Stick around, 'E*Trade On Air' is next!"
"On Air" heads through some news about the shift of power from
50/50 in the Senate to a slight edge for the Democrats, a discussion about
the price of gasoline, some inspired picks for those playing the stock
market, and other various business and finance bits, pieces, and commercials.
The hosts of "On Air" then dig in and spend over five minutes
with R. Walker, about twice as much time than that devoted to what Federal
Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan had to say recently about the economy,
talking Walker's artistic motivations and the true tales in Titans
of Finance from the world of big money, wittily translated through
America's most populist medium, comics. Although the hosts of "On
Air" admit they are more familiar with titles such as Spider-Man
and Archie, they are quite keen on R. Walker and artist Josh Neufeld's
take on the world of business with stories "actually ripped from
the business news headlines."
