The Way We Get By: Dispatches from the Debt Heads Universe
A weekly-ish companion series that asks friends and listeners one question: how are you getting by?
This dispatch is from Lauren Barker, a born and raised Hoosier living in Baltimore with her beautiful husband and four perfect cats. She is currently furloughed from her federal job, but has been filling her time with her side gigs and hobbies including picking up extra shifts at Anthropologie, volunteering at a horse farm, and lots of reading.

What is Debt Heads?
Jamie and Rachel are in debt. So is almost everyone they know. So is almost everyone you know. DEBT HEADS is a narrative investigation into how we all got here — not as a personal failing, but as a national one. With original reporting, personal stories, the occasional musical number, and zero shame about your iced coffee habit. If thinking about money sends you spiraling, we want you to know: You are not alone. We are not alone. Welcome to Debt Heads. Brand new episodes drop every Thursday.
