This week, Riley, Milo, Hussein, and Alice join special guest and friend of the show Jathan Sadowski (@jathansadowski) of the This Machine Kills podcast (@machinekillspod) to discuss microfinance. Despite the Nobel Prizes involved, it turns out it’s just app-connected loan sharking in many ways. We also discuss a mental health app that provides crowdsourced therapy. Is it licensed? Hey, that’s just a technicality.
