Join social scientist and poverty expert Mark Rank to discuss his recent book, "Poorly Understood: What America Gets Wrong about Poverty," and common misconceptions about being poor in the US. He explains that not only do many millions find themselves in poverty today, the risk of YOU finding yourself in poverty at some point during your life is surprisingly high. We consider poverty statistics, policies, the economic cost of poverty, and why it—and the myths around it—persists. An accessible and eye-opening episode.The website Mark refers to:https://confrontingpoverty.org/Mark's book:https://bookshop.org/books/poorly-understood-what-america-gets-wrong-about-poverty/9780190881382Thoughts?

 Music with the MichigandersJennifer, Bill, and Doug discuss their first memories of music and early influences that turned them into giant life-long music fans, starting with bubblegum music and novelty songs. They talk about the importance of friends, a band’s covers, and passion versus production. They also celebrate the breakdown of musical genres and the many ways to access and discover music now, even if we have to work a little harder to discover and share music now. They also make some recommendations you don’t want to miss.Follow the host on Twitter: @DiscreetGuideThe playlist:The Doors: Light My Firehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cq8k-ZbsXDIChuck Berry: My Ding-A-Linghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tr-YF_dTTZMLena Lovich: I Think We’re Alone Nowhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJRGdQSvwjUPopcorn:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjxNnqTcHhg&t=37sBo Donaldson and the Heywoods: Billy, Don’t Be a Herohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qndq4pYqgk8Lemonheads: Mrs. Robinsonhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvMFm5nKeUcWho: Summertime Blueshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kC4S13jcki4Mose Allison: Young Man Blueshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpTSVy3yztsThe Rolling Stones: Jumpin’ Jack Flashhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-JDB_K6s_YThe Clash: I Fought the Lawhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHC2Mnf_HXoGrateful Dead: Uncle John’s Bandhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yD1naKNQuF4Talking Heads: Take Me to the Riverhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RHZEzVUBPkTalking Heads: Crosseyed and Painlesshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyDb4szpWmcNirvana: The Man Who Sold the Worldhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iz3tmYDl6XIDire Straits: Sultans of Swinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fAQhSRLQnMTracy Chapman: Fast Carhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwrHwZyFN7MTina Turner: What’s Love Got to Do with Ithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpUt4gmEYaUInk Spots: If I Didn’t Carehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvwfLe6sLisReplacements: If Only You Were Lonely (demo)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxN1q09knqoTodd Rundgren: Bang on the Drum All Dayhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7Tcggo45TQRecommendations:Abbey Road Remastered 2019 on Vinylhttps://www.discogs.com/release/14183308-The-Beatles-Abbey-RoadMcCartney 3,2,1 Documentary on Huluhttps://www.hulu.com/series/mccartney-3-2-1-e168480d-849e-4f2d-aaf2-a5276723d68d

Happy New Year, everybody. Ta-da! The new show will be called "Books, Shows, Tunes & Mad Acts." It will be classified on Podomatic under Art: Books, but if you have trouble finding it, write me at jennifer@discreetguide.com or catch me on Twitter @DiscreetGuide, and we'll hook you up. See you on the other side!

Nick Brown is back! Former IT guy and now psychologist, Nick talks about some counter-intuitive policy changes for improving the efficiency and lowering costs of IT, by actually making users happier. It's a recognition of the importance of treating co-workers as humans instead of enemies, and an argument for a new way of thinking. This is a great episode to end our run with, as we have been moving toward these ideas over our last 200 episodes. We will have a new show in 2021, with a new format and focus. Tune in on New Year's Eve for more information and the new name of the show. And thanks for listening!
