Billed by NPR as "an unconventional discussion about saving for college, home ownership, retirement and your financial lifetime," "Family Matters" will take place at the WNED-TV studios on Oct. 8 at 7 p.m.

"In some ways, it is similar to the content and the stories you hear on our air, but you're bringing people inside," David Greene explained about the presentation of "Family Matters."
Greene, co-host of "Morning Edition," will appear in Buffalo with his NPR colleague, economics reporter Sonari Glinton.
"We also have two, really entertaining, engaging, fun people who are experts in personal finance. Louis Barajas and Michelle Singletary," Greene said.
"I guarantee people will really enjoy them because they speak in very personal, real, accessible terms about some of these difficult decisions."
While financial programs can be found elsewhere, Greene assures that "Family Matters" is produced with the type of sensibility that is familiar to the NPR audience.
"We hear from listeners, and I'm sure you hear from your listeners, one thing they love about public radio is that it is a very intimate environment, and when they are hearing stories about personal lives, they really feel like they are brought inside and get to know the people in those stories and the voices."
