On August 12 - so next week - the show officially relaunches on this same feed as A Thousand Natural Shocks: A Bad With Money podcast. In the last decade of doing this show, I went from “just asking questions” to socialist to even more radical in the last few years. I want the show to follow suit and be more relevant to the current moment for the middle and working classes. In our final Bad With Money only episode, Gabe talks to CPA Michelle Miele about whether or not he’s going to jail for problems with his taxes and the laying off of IRS staffers leading to more difficulty paying the correct taxes. Gabe also shares statistics of who gets punished for “fraud” and who gets away with it and how common cyber attacks are.

DIY creator Caroline Klidonas proves you don’t need any money to tell full stories. You don’t even need another person. Gabe fanboys over Caroline’s acting and writing, and the duo discusses the ways financial limitations can make stories more interesting. Then, they go into Caroline’s evolving relationship to her queerness and gender through her videos. Plus, trust your audience!!

Passports are invalidated. People are being rounded up. A Holocaust is happening in America now and it’s not even a new playbook.

We get deeply magical this week as we lean into the feelings part of the podcast with Moon Studio's Sarah Faith Gottesdiener. Money is ancestral, symbolic, deeply intimate and has a huge impact on our nervous systems, especially for listeners of this show who are introverts, neurodivergent, or sensitive to conflict. Gabe is excited to get spiritual about finances! What is future-casting? What's the difference between witchcraft, manifestation, and the toxic "wellness industry" mindset? Do we have to believe in angel numbers and signs? What is "enoughness" and how do we achieve it??

AIRHORN NOISE! Bravely Go's Kara Perez joins Gabe on the podcast to talk about the loud and ubiquitous TV stock market guru Jim Cramer, he of sound effects and funny hats. What's his tragic backstory? What's his actual money philosophy when you take away the bells and whistles? What have been his biggest money pop culture moments? Was this book actually sort of... okay?? (Maybe?) Also, come for the rollercoaster of amorality, stay for the kidnapping saga!

Artist and author Tourmaline joins the show to talk about her 20 years of research on LGBTQ icon Marsha P. Johnson, the Black trans woman who was one of the key figures of the Stonewall Uprising. We go through hidden queer history from the hourly hotels where Marsha and her friends could express their genders to turn of the century lesbians to the Black room at Stonewall to bottom surgery at Johns Hopkins in the 60s and 70s. We’ve come so far and yet nothing changes. It was an honor to have Tourmaline on in this moment to discuss queer and trans activism through the ages. Prepare to have chills.

oel is back to talk about how he approaches teaching ethics to college students who have participated in BLM protests and have experienced our current world, how church and state was actually created to embolden slavery, and how white Christianity has taken the narrative away from Black Christianity (and how they're taking it back).
