"Simplified" is an interview-style show where Morning Edition host Lacey Alexander takes complex topics and breaks them down so that everyone can better understand them.
She enlists a new academic in the state of Alabama every week to simplify a big idea-- whether it's science, economics, media or anything in between.
Simplified 's first guest is Dr. Dena Mitchell, CPA from Troy University. She and Lacey talk all about income taxes-- the long forms, the IRS, the credits, and more.
