Richard Bowen on the Campbell Conversations

WRVO Public Media
Richard Bowen

In 2006, Richard Bowen, an executive at Citigroup overseeing the underwriting of mortgages, saw some things that didn't look right, and he let the top leadership know. They reacted against him, and the mortgage industry all but collapsed in 2007. This week, Grant Reeher talks with Bowen about being a financial whistleblower, and what he and the country have learned since. 

Grant Reeher is Director of the Campbell Public Affairs Institute and a professor of political science at Syracuse University’s Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. He is also creator, host and program director of “The Campbell Conversations” on WRVO, a weekly regional public affairs program featuring extended in-depth interviews with regional and national writers, politicians, activists, public officials, and business professionals.
