Sometimes when we talk about money, we are really talking about feeling accepted, valued, heard and seen. Coming up at 9 a.m. on Monday, MPR News host Angela Davis and her guests talk about the uncomfortable intersection of money and feelings.

And we want to hear from you.

Do you avoid talking about money? Or are you having a hard time getting someone else you care about to talk about money?

Call us during the 9 a.m. hour at 651-227-6000 or 800-242-2828.   

Guests:

  • Reema Khrais is the host of the Marketplace podcast, This is Uncomfortable, a show about the unanticipated ways money shapes our relationships, identities and the choices we make.   

  • Chris Farrell is senior economics contributor at Minnesota Public Radio and Marketplace, American Public Media's nationally syndicated public radio business and economic programs.
