Yeet the Rich
If a billionaire donates money to a good cause, does that make them a good person? Hosts Emily Walsh and Daniel Moss are two married millennials who learned about financial crises by living through them, and now they’re diving into the wild world of the uber rich. They discuss financial crimes, the breakdown of the American dream, and why funding a museum doesn’t necessarily make you a good person. They get into the old timey rich, like the Rockafeller family, and current events, like why you might not want to shop at Walmart. Each week they’ll dive into a new wealthy person, give you the rundown on their lives, whatever “good things” they’ve done in the past, and why they might be a bummer.

The Spinach King Episode Two- Cabbage Patch "Commies"
This week we continue the story of C.F. Seabrook and the family farm. We discuss how they started innovating with frozen vegetables, using the expertise of Clarence Birdseye, how they changed the farm to make progress, and the path leading to C.F.'s youngest son Jack taking over.
This episode also gets into the strike of 1934, when black and white workers banded together to strike for higher wages and fairer treatment, and how the Seabrook farm, with the help of the police force, vigilantes and the KKK tried to suppress the movement. Plus communism!
