Why are truffles (not the chocolate kind) such a delicacy? Maybe it’s because they remind us of ourselves. We’ll let one of our longtime favourite podcasts, Planet Money, explain. They followed the king of the New York truffle-selling scene on his routine quest to sell $20,000 worth of truffles in a day. The stakes are high: run out of time, and the truffles start to lose their value.
This episode we turn to Planet Money and more of our old reliable faves for some enlightening stories. No doubt you’ve seen some of your favourite books become movies. But what about the best-sellers that started out on the screen? Meet the authors who built careers writing movie novelizations. Then, it can be hard to balance cultural and family expectations with your own needs. Code Switch helps a listener learn to set boundaries with their immigrant parents.
