What makes the siren song of money-making schemes, cults, spiritual gurus, scams, and conspiracies of all kinds so irresistible? What is it about the desires of the human heart that make us vulnerable to such subterfuge? Opportunity Cost, hosted by Jill, cobbles an auditory scrapbook of old videos, soundscapes, interviews, and commentary together in an attempt to uncover the history, nuances, and manipulation behind these cultural phenomenon.Follow me on Instagram & TikTok - @oppcostpod
