A Thousand Natural Shocks With Gabe S. Dunn
After years of attempting 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. This isn't just about money; it's about breaking free from the individualistic lies and fighting for collective liberation. Capitalism is killing us. The police state is killing us. Fascism is killing us. But we can no longer feel helpless. We can resist. Send a question or voice memo to GabeIsBadWithMoney@gmail.com.

On August 12 - so next week - the show officially relaunches on this same feed as A Thousand Natural Shocks: A Bad With Money podcast. In the last decade of doing this show, I went from “just asking questions” to socialist to even more radical in the last few years. I want the show to follow suit and be more relevant to the current moment for the middle and working classes. In our final Bad With Money only episode, Gabe talks to CP...
