Today, with the release of WICKED in movie theaters, we look at the many political interpretations of "The Wizard of Oz."

Jody, Niki, and Kellie are joined by Ranjit Dighe, chair of the Economics department at SUNY-Oswego, to discuss the theory that "The Wizard of Oz" is a parable about the 1893 banking crisis -- plus the many other ways that people have found meaning in the book and movie over the years.

Ranjit is the editor of "The Historian's Wizard Of Oz"
