Welcome to The Lost Debata Show for Political Eclectics. I'm Robbie Gupta in a few minutes.

We're going to hear from Alexander Hurst who wrote a book called Generation Desperation,

which is all about how he went from basically $0 to a million in about a year, day trading,

and then not only lost it all, but wound up in debt. And he wrote a thrilling book

all about the ups and downs of that, that includes stops along the way, sort of key moments. COVID,

the GameStop crisis, solar, renewable energies, spacks, all of that. So you want to stick

around for that. But a few housekeeping items and just thoughts before we get there.

Number one, where the schools went, which is our New Orleans podcast, which you haven't listened to it yet.

You should. It's amazing. It has now been named a finalist for two different categories in the Webby's.

So we don't bother you with ads on this podcast at the moment or anything like that.

And so the one thing you could do for us is support us in moments like this and take a second to vote for us in the People's Choice Awards for each of those. There's a jury prize, which we have no control over. That'll be picked in a couple weeks. But then there's a People's Choice Award, which is just people voting in polls, and it's nice to win. So you can go in. We'll put the link right at the top of the show notes where you could vote for each of these. It takes no time at all. You can only vote for these two categories and nothing else. You don't have to vote for anything else. And you could use your Gmail account or whatever to easily sign in and vote pretty frictionless. So vote for those two. We're nominated finalists for best

documentary in the limited series category and also best science health education podcast in the

limited series category. And it's amazing. You know, we're a little company, a little nonprofit,

who've now been nominated and finalists seven times in the past three years for Webby Awards or three or four years

for Webby Awards. And we've won three of them. Have we won three? We've won at least two

Webby Awards. I shouldn't know the answer to this. And so that's huge for a tiny company. And I think

the reason why we've done so well is the reason why you listen is because we bring nuance, we bring

depth,

and we try to find stories that traditional media is not going to tell.

And in this case, it was the 20-year transformation of the New Orleans school system.

We interviewed over 100 people for that and put it together in what I think is a very compelling and informative way.

Second piece here is I watched this Netflix Manosphere documentary over the weekend, and wow, it is
