In 2015, the hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan released an album that was unlike any other in the history of recorded music.
It simultaneously set the record for the highest amount of money ever spent on a work of music, and it was the worst-selling album in history in terms of unit sales.

Learn more about Once Upon A Time in Shaolin and the album which is unlike any other ever made, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Today's episode features two books that advocate for new approaches to big problems: urban planning, poverty, and dog rescue.

Then, Here & Now's Peter O'Dowd speaks with Carol Mithers about Rethinking Rescue, which profiles Lori Weise, aka the Dog Lady, and examines her belief that animal welfare and efforts to help people going through economic instability should go hand in hand.

The interview, everybody! It was 27 whole minutes of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz! Was it joyous? Did she become president by acclamation?

Journalist, Bernie 2020 speechwriter, and founder of The LeverDavid Sirota joins Bad Faith to talk his new podcast series Master Plan, which tracks the roots of American corruption from the infamous 70s era Powell memo to our present day. We discuss the DNC, Chris Cuomo's newfound interest in the corrupting power of money in politics, & Kamala's price capping plan along with the bipartisan backlash to it. We also debate the limits of working from within the Democratic Party and whether or not the Bernie campaign -- where Brie and David were colleagues -- proves it cannot be done.
