  • Planet Money Records Vol. 1: Earnest Jackson
    Our friends at Planet Money are trying something we thought All Songs listeners might find as fascinating as we do: They're trying to start their own record label to release a single song. It's a song about inflation, recorded in 1975... and never released until now.

    (This episode is part one of a series)
    Listen to "Inflation" on
    Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube Music, Tidal, Amazon Music & Pandora.
