The Federal Reserve Board of Governors met today. We took a deeper look at the voting body — the Federal Open Market Committee — and the topic of discussion: a vote on lowering interest rates by one-quarter of one percentage point.
Then, we heard more about (and from!) Wimee the Robot, a PBS children's television character created in Grand Rapids. The show "Wimee's Words," which introduces children to topics like science, technology, engineering, math and art, will premier a new segment on May 10.
GUESTS ON TODAY’S SHOW:
- Justin Wolfers, professor of economics and public policy at the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan
- Michael Hyacinthe, creator, Wimee's Words
- Wimee, robot star of Wimee's Words
