SURVIVORSHIP - Allie Lawrence

All aboard, hope you brought your baggage!

ECON 101: BEANIE BABIES & BEYOND - Luke Strathmann

Luke Strathmann lost everything in the great Beanie Babies market crash of 2000, and has since spent his life studying economics to figure out what the hell happened. In this show, he will address some of the greatest economic questions of our time: Where does money come from? Why have bacon, egg, and cheeses doubled in price? How on earth did someone sell a Beanie Baby for seven million dollars? Why was that person not him?
