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.

BP Gulf Oil Spill Part Two- Krill! Baby Krill!!!
This week we are getting back into the wonderful world of Deep Sea Oil Cleanup! We discuss the direct aftermath of the destruction of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Rig and BP's many Failed attempts to stop the underwater leak. We get a little into politics and then we talk about the effects on the local Gulf community and the disastrous effect on the Gulf Ecosystems. We get VERY Sad about the effects on Gulf Birds and Turtles and then Get incredibly mad about BP's refusal to give there cleanup workers masks. Mmmm the smell of righteous indignation in the morning!! Enjoy!
