このコンテンツについて

If a billionaire donates money to a good cause, does that make them a good person? Hosts Emily Walsh and Daniel Moss are two married millennials who learned about financial crises by living through them, and now they’re diving into the wild world of the uber rich. They discuss financial crimes, the breakdown of the American dream, and why funding a museum doesn’t necessarily make you a good person. They get into the old timey rich, like the Rockafeller family, and current events, like why you might not want to shop at Walmart. Each week they’ll dive into a new wealthy person, give you the rundown on their lives, whatever “good things” they’ve done in the past, and why they might be a bummer.

  • Buffalo Creek Disaster Part Two- That is a Damn Dam!
    2025/05/20

    This week we wrap up the story of the Buffalo Creek Disaster, when a poorly built dam system gave way to a flood and killed 125 people, leaving thousands homeless.

    We get into the lengthy court settlement, the investigation into "psychic impairment" and the idea of monetary compensation for mental trauma, the actual timeline of the disaster as far as what the owners, the Pittston Company, were doing at that time, and we discuss several women who gave warnings who definitely should have been listened to!

  • Buffalo Creek Disaster Part One- Piercing the Dam Veil
    2025/05/13

    This week we discuss the Buffalo Creek Disaster, a disastrous flood caused by the negligence of the Buffalo Mining Company and stockholders, causing 125 people to die and hundreds of others to lose their homes.

    But the silver lining of this story is that the survivors banded together and fought back with a lawsuit seeking damages for both their physical losses and mental suffering, and succeeded! We love an underdog story! This week we lay the groundwork for this victory.
