A Thousand Natural Shocks With Gabe S. Dunn
After years of trying to "girlboss" his way out of systemic class divide, Gabriel Shane Dunn, now a trans man and veteran podcaster, relaunches his show "Bad With Money" with a furious, funny, and deeply personal exploration of surviving our capitalist hellscape. Ditching conventional finance advice, "A Thousand Natural Shocks" is a companion show to Gabe's thriving newsletter of the same name. It's not just about money; it's about breaking free from individualistic lies and fighting for collective liberation. The show tackles how capitalism, the police state, and fascism are killing us, while emphasizing that we can resist and no longer feel helpless.
