General script outline

Hook (0:00–0:25): one vivid number or headline from a crash year; name the single mechanism this episode explains.
Scope (0:25–0:55): which crash / which layer (banks, housing, FX); what you will not cover (no trading tips).
Timeline map (0:55–1:40): trigger → amplification → policy → aftermath.
Core beats: leverage or fragility; panic channel; policy tool used; one household vignette with sourced figures.
Portable rule: one checklist for reading the next crisis headline without panic porn.
Recap + series tease: callback; next crash or mechanism; fixed end-slate. Original narration only.
