Debt Heads

A narrative podcast turning the concept of debt upside down. Season One of Debt Heads is a five-episode mini-series that investigates the architecture of personal finance and the myths of financial responsibility. This is a storytelling journey into our lives and yours that uncovers the deeper structures that have created an economy that feels unsafe for most people. We are endeavoring to tell the Millennial story by exploring the insidious political and economic policies as well as the seismic but elusive cultural shifts that have defined America over the last four decades. We are not alone. You are not alone. All Debt Head Season One episodes are free on Spotify, Apple, Youtube. Debt Heads is a production of Children People, LLC in association with Signal Co. No1.
