How Other Countries Used Their Darkest Hour to Radically Reform Their Economies
Why don’t things in the US feel like they work the way that they should? Why does life feel so much harder than it would need to be, between exorbitant costs of housing, draining healthcare expenses, and inequitable access to education?
But the problems that plague us aren’t unsolvable, and in fact, other places have solved them with tactics that are within reach. So this episode, featuring the author of Another World is Possible, Natasha Hakimi Zapata, is all about solutions and hope.

Understanding the Big Beautiful Bill's Repercussions, with the Highest Ranking Woman in Congress
Amid the heat of recent legislative chaos, I got the opportunity to briefly sit down with the House Democratic Whip, Representative Katherine Clark, to ask what your average American can anticipate over the coming years—from the downstream effects of Medicaid cuts on rural and low-income communities, to the fourfold expansion of the ICE budget.

On Moving to Make More Money, the Government’s PE Playbook, & Henah Buying a House
In this week’s Rich Girl Roundup, my executive producer Henah and I talk through a variety platter of feedback, questions, and reflections—from being “in” but not “of” a certain group, to whether you’d make different career choices if you knew you’d be working long beyond “retirement age,” to the idea that American politicians are hamstrung by their constituents. Plus, we answer some show-agnostic audience-related questions.

How This "Financial Ethicist" Plans for the Future of Retirement
Today's guest, financial professional and author of The Future Poor, Jonathan Grimm, believes the post-1945 version of retirement planning (stockpiling as much cash as possible for 40 years and praying you can leave paid work) isn’t going to work for much longer.
But as a financial “ethicist,” Grimm's unique approach centers the social determinants of health and begins from the belief that we should figure out what’s best for people—and work backward from there.
