Explore every episode of the podcast Debt Heads

Surprise! As a little post-midterms treat, Team Debt Heads’ feed is alive and well, thanks a BONUS episode of our friend Dr. Claire Aubin’s podcast, This Guy Sucked. Claire, along with fellow historian and smarter-than-us person Dylan Gottlieb, break down the history of something that *really* sucks — DEBT. (What else?) Come to class (like, in a fun way) and learn more about how we all got into this mess.

You can listen to more very fun and interesting history lessons on This Guy Sucked.

You can learn what raspberry vinaigrette and jogging have to do with the economy in Dylan’s best-selling book, Yuppies, and learn more about the history of capitalism on his podcast, Who Makes Cents?

AND you can keep your ears open here for more sweet bonus content to come. 

Debt Heads is produced in association with Signal Co. No1.

In the season (one plus interest) finale of Debt Heads you’ve been waiting for, we ask: What is debt, really? And is the answer hiding in NYC’s “forgotten” borough?

A narrative podcast turning the concept of debt upside down. 

Season One of Debt Heads is a five-episode mini-series that investigates the architecture of personal finance and the myths of financial responsibility. 

This is a storytelling journey into our lives and yours that uncovers the deeper structures that have created an economy that feels unsafe for most people. 

We are endeavoring to tell the Millennial story by exploring the insidious political and economic policies as well as the seismic but elusive cultural shifts that have defined America over the last four decades. 

We are not alone. You are not alone. 

All Debt Head Season One episodes are free on Spotify, Apple, Youtube.
