Other People’s Pockets from journalist Maya Lau is a show featuring intimate interviews with real people about their personal finances. How much money do you make, and how do you make it? How do you feel about your money? How did you actually get that raise? That house? That life? It’s the show for financially-motivated people who want to go beyond Personal Finance 101: they want to hear the nuanced, messy, lived experiences of people making money decisions and building wealth.Contact us: otherpeoplespockets@gmail.com
