A Thousand Natural Shocks With Gabe S. Dunn
Gabe Dunn | Diamond MPrint Productions
After years of attempting to "girlboss" his way out of systemic class divide, Gabriel Shane Dunn, now a trans man and veteran podcaster, relaunches his show, “Bad With Money,” with a furious, funny, and deeply personal exploration of surviving our capitalist hellscape. Ditching conventional finance advice, “A Thousand Natural Shocks,” is a companion show to Gabe’s thriving newsletter of the same name. This isn't just about money; it's about breaking free from the individualistic lies and fighting for collective liberation. Capitalism is killing us. The police state is killing us. Fascism is killing us. But we can no longer feel helpless. We can resist.Send a question or voice memo to GabeIsBadWithMoney@gmail.com.

Most Searched Money Terms for 2021
This week, Gaby discusses the most searched for money terms of the past year, including 'black-owned' and 'monthly subscriptions for moms.' Then, we hear a voicemail from a listener on his financial New Years' resolution to eradicate shame. They also read an email from a listener who hilariously doesn't want to pay taxes as a hairdresser and another useful email from a former stock manager at a big clothing brand about choosing ethical clothing. This week, you all are pure chaos!

Couples and Money ft. Damona Hoffman and Kaley Klemp
Happy holidays! A sometimes stressful time for couples going into the new year! This week, we're interviewing Kaley Klemp, the co-author of The 80-80 Marriage, about coming at relationships with radical generosity rather than "fairness" and how to structure money in a long-term relationship or marriage. Why do partners resent each others' successes instead of seeing all achievements as good for the team? And how do you still protect your own assets in this kind of partnership? Plus, what is KaJoNa? Then, Gaby talks to dating coach Damona Hoffman about paying for premium dating accounts, the idea of the "gold digger" vs. the "breadwinner" (thanks Kacey Musgraves!) and why she thinks true love is more important than finances in the modern era.

Fast Fashion Debates, Student Loan Extension, and Amazon Tornado Safety
This episode is jam packed with fast fashion debates and comments agreeing and disagreeing with the episode Gaby did on the topic.

Finally, a wealthy woman who is giving away her fortune, the communist urge to wear a jumpsuit every day, and preventing student loan debt by asking colleges to just LOWER tuition prices.

Fast Fashion with Elizabeth Cline and Jasika Nicole
Gaby explores the world of fast fashion and greenwashing with Overdressed author and Remake and PayUp activist Elizabeth L. Cline. With all these celebrities shilling for Shein, Fashion Nova, and other fast fashion brands, these companies are gaining into the billions with terrible garment worker practices, huge environmental waste and by stealing designs from marginalized artists. (Okay, that last one is just Gaby's personal pet peeve.) Then, Gaby talks to actress Jasika Nicole (Fringe, The Good Doctor) who makes all her own clothing - yes, even her shoes and undergarments - about why she goes to these lengths, how you can sew your own clothing, and the pros and cons of thrifting.
