President appoints "Takeaway," Sesame Workshop contributor to financial board

President Barack Obama today (Oct. 13) announced his choice for appointments to several administration posts. Included is Beth Kobliner, to serve as a member of the President’s Advisory Council on Financial Capability. The financial expert has a regular segment on public radio’s The Takeaway and is a content adviser to Sesame Workshop’s upcoming Financial Education Initiative, a bilingual outreach program to promote financial literacy in very young children. Here's a video interview of Kobliner at last year's TV Critics Press Tour, discussing her participation in the doc "Your Life, Your Money," which ran on PBS in April 2009.
