Summary

Today I’m dropping a brand new, really unique podcast into your feed and it's all about money. “Debt Heads” is a very funny, surprisingly cathartic, extremely relatable investigation into the American economy from two people in debt. In the pilot episode we meet our two co-hosts, Jamie & Rachel, who dig into the reasons why so many people find money so hard to discuss, why we think we’re happier when we keep our secrets hidden, and how powerful it can be to come clean. After Jamie fesses up to Rachel about her years of hidden debt, we go on a journey to uncover why such a wide-spread problem is so often made to feel like a personal failing.
