Episode notes

The Tulsa remote program is funded by the George Kaiser Family Foundation. The foundation has pledged to give away more than half of his wealth. A lot of it's going towards young Tulsons. He does stuff for early education and he's also investing in Tulsa remote. Ronnie: Do you think there should be more programs to help you build and stay here?

A group in Tulsa, Oklahoma, will pay remote workers $10,000 to move there. Vox’s Rani Molla explains why the city is banking on a digital workforce — and whether the program leaves longtime Tulsans behind.

This episode was produced by Hady Mawajdeh, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Patrick Boyd and Michael Raphael, and hosted by Noel King.
