Waters Wavelength Podcast Episode 12: Open Source, Reg AT, Panama Papers
Dan and Anthony chat about their April features.

Dan and Anthony talk about both their features, discussing why they chose their respective topics and what they weren't able to fit into their stories. They start off with Dan's feature on open-source software in financial services (1:17), and then switch to Anthony's piece on the CFTC's proposed Regulation Automated Trading (8:23). Afterwards, the guys touch on the Panama Papers (17:36). To wrap things up, Anthony gives his controversial opinion on the men's and women's NCAA championship basketball games (22:26).
