Radio Mortgage Hosts Matthew Padilla, Author of Chain of Blame

Radio Mortgage is a weekly internet show Sean Purcell and I host.  We open to show to 8-10 REALTORs and have a discussion on topics that are pertinent to practicing California REALTORs.  This week our guest was appropraite for consumers, so I’ll share the show with the consumers on Zillow.

We interviewed Matt Padilla, author of Chain of Blame- How Wall Street Caused the Mortgage and Credit Crisis.  This book, released in May, 2008, details a history of non-prime lending, the S&L crisis, securitization of mortgages, and what went wrong.  Matt is also a business and finance columnist at the Orange County Register, in Southern California and hosts Mortgage Insider Blog.
