Yeet the Rich
If a billionaire donates money to a good cause, does that make them a good person? Hosts Emily Walsh and Daniel Moss are two married millennials who learned about financial crises by living through them, and now they’re diving into the wild world of the uber rich. They discuss financial crimes, the breakdown of the American dream, and why funding a museum doesn’t necessarily make you a good person. They get into the old timey rich, like the Rockafeller family, and current events, like why you might not want to shop at Walmart. Each week they’ll dive into a new wealthy person, give you the rundown on their lives, whatever “good things” they’ve done in the past, and why they might be a bummer.

This week our story is set in Gilded Age New York City. the Rising center of wealth and crime during an era with one of the worst examples of wealth inequality until maybe now? Huge amounts of money made from industrialization and the consolidation of industries by America's robber barons.
And the Subject of this series is a woman named Frederika Mandelbaum aka Marm Mandelbaum. She became one of NYC first and most infamous crime bosses and ruled over the theft and sale of stolen luxury goods for over 20 years from the 1860’s to her downfall in 1884.
I'm really excited about this series. It is a little off the beaten path for us but it is really fun full of hijinx and heists and we hope you enjoy!
