KPL Podcast September 2025 Week 2 with Special Guest Ken Miller

 This week on the KPL Podcast, we sat down with debut author Ken Miller to discuss his novel High Finance. Miller delivers an eye-opening look at the financial world in the years leading up to the 2008 market crash. The story follows Jed Czincosca, a high-powered dealmaker who rises to the top of Wall Street by orchestrating multibillion-dollar transactions, indulging in drugs and alcohol, and trading on inside information. As Jed’s wealth and influence grow, so do his reckless choices—until the day it all comes crashing down.
