  • Ep. 120: We Work, But Do We Work...at WeWork?

    This week, a recent episode of Slate Money sparks a discussion about WeWork, the trendy "co-working" company that is bringing the office lifestyle of Silicon Valley to a bustling, millennial-heavy metropolis near you. Could the gang see themselves working in a WeWork space instead of, say, working at a coffee shop? And what level of lunacy would be required for them to dive into WeLive, which applies the same ethos to...your apartment?

    MUSIC: "How Simple" - Hop Along
