In New York City, taxi cab drivers found that they were only making $9 an hour after paying medallion lease fees. Every official voice that cabbies heard encouraged them to buy a taxi medallion for themselves. Unfortunately, Federal Reserve policies had pushed up the price of all assets. So cabbies decided to borrow enormous sums from finance firms…

The Federal Reserve never intended to help ordinary Americans or business owners. The Fed bestowed trillion dollar gifts on a specific group of finance firms. These firms were then supposed to transmit that money to the rest of us. But something happened along the way - that money never trickled down to regular Americans. In this episode, see how b…

Since ancient times, every loan has involved two parties - a borrower and a lender. In this episode, we will examine the mindset of both parties.

We will show how powerful voices eroded away…

How many geese? has seen its fair share of drugged up animals - from the Hollywood sensation that is cocaine bear, through to Pablo Escobar's cocaine hippos - but in this episode we're here to see the effects of things slightly more "over the counter" as Jack takes us through the impact of excess anti-depressants on the environment. If you've ever …

Cast your minds back Goose fans and you may well remember an episode entitled "Hot bear summer", where our own Roddy Shaw went on a mission to prove that Antelope were animals worth our attention and shouldn't just be consigned to being eaten by a big cat on a David Attenborough show.
