This podcast starts in Europe in the 17th century and doesn’t let up until the present day, where we find ourselves still trying to figure out how to pay some service workers. It’s especially confusing here in DC, but at least it’s trying to do something about it.

Also, “Throughline” is a great podcast, and it’s worth your time to subscribe & listen to it.
