This week, we're joined by THE TikTok hot girl anthropologist, Hannah Brown! She’s giving us the ultimate breakdown on Recession Pop—because even when our bank accounts were empty, the bottle service was flowing. From the Great Depression to the 2008 financial crisis, history shows that when morale is low, pop music is at its peak. We also dive into the fashion and culture of the era (Tumblr nostalgia, anyone?). So grab your last $20 and let's party like we’re going to live forever!

Created and produced by Claire Donald and Tess Bellomo
