Tony Field needs you. He's the producer of BackStory with the American History Guys, a call-in radio show and podcast based in Virginia. Tony writes:

Each week on the show, we rip a topic from the headlines and spend an hour exploring its historical context.
We're currently putting together a show about the history of financial panics. We'll look at previous crises of confidence (there are a lot), and especially the social and political responses to those panics.
Do you have a question or comment you'd like to pose to our historian-hosts on the air? We'll be recording the show this Sunday, and are looking for people interested in joining the "History Guys" on the phone. It's fun. It's informative. E-mail me for more info.
