We've got a great, informative podcast in two parts--with a royal cameo kicking us off! Hear from Toby Rittner, President and CEO of the Council of Development Finance Agencies ("CDFA"), and Katie Kramer, the company's Vice President. Part I of the Podcast is all about the SBA Loan Options available to small businesses right now in light of COVID-19; Part II is more policy oriented and covers the CARES Act, Development Finance, and best-in-class local finance responses to this crisis. TOP TIP: Alaska's Small Business Development Center's COVID-19 page (https://aksbdc.org/covid19/) is a great resource for details on this as well. PLUS the SBDC is holding daily web briefings on these SBA lending products, answering questions, and getting detailed -- like with this PDF document that explains both the Economic Injury Disaster Loan and the Payroll Protection Program in detail (presented week of April 6, 2020, pdf): https://www.sba.gov/sites/default/files/articles/EIDL_and_P3_4.1.2020_FINAL_2pm.pdf
