Oprahdemics - Oprah and the “Debt Diet”
In 2006, Oprah Winfrey profiled three families, their spending habits, and their out of control debt. The episode caused a huge stir, with audience members, the public, and Oprah herself adding a level of shame and disbelief at how the families spent their money. It also launched the eight-step “debt diet” program. But the episodes didn’t get at the larger structural questions of why families end up in debt, and why it’s so hard to break free.
Special Guest: Mehrsa Baradaran, professor at UC-Irvine and author of How the Other Half Banks and The Color of Money: Black Banks and the Racial Wealth Gap.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The History of Television
It has been called the boob tube and the idiot box, but the fact is that perhaps no invention was as important to the latter half of the 20th Century as the television.
Once the problems of moving pictures and wireless audio had been solved, it took quite a bit longer to solve the problem of wireless moving pictures.
Once it was solved, it revolutionized the world.
Learn more about the history of television, how it was developed and how it took over the world, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

More or Less: Behind the Stats - Employment puzzle, pyramids and triplets
The UK has a low unemployment rate, and a large number of people who are not working right now ? we look at how both of these are true with the help of Chris Giles from the FT and Louise Murphy from the Resolution Foundation.
Have pyramids really moved 4km south since they were built?
For years, the media has been claiming that the odds of having identical triplets are one in 200 million ? we are very suspicious. And we look at apparently concerning reports about women's life expectancy in the poorest parts of England.
Plus, we have received a lot of emails from listeners about last week?s episode. Some questioning the definition of a billion, others questioning our explanation of the nautical mile. We do some reflecting.
