A Thousand Natural Shocks With Gabe S. Dunn

This week, Gaby interviews Autism advocate and technology executive Nicola Whiting about her own diagnosis, neurodiversity in the workplace, disability and neurodivergent accommodations, and the ways neuroatypical people view money differently than neurotypical people. What can employers do better to have a neurodiverse workplace? How can neurodivergent people better advocate for themselves? Then, Gaby interviews their own partner Mal Blum, a musician with ADHD, about the ways their relationship functions around both Mal's ADHD and Gaby's bipolar disorder.

Welcome to Season 8! This season we're doing things a little differently: each episode, we're going to talk to both experts and to friends of mine with lived experience in the same topic. Get to know me, get to know my buddies from my real life! Our first topic is monetizing fake news, data voids, and how ads work for Facebook and Google misinformation. Gaby talks to MIT Review reporter Abby Ohlheiser about how people make millions of dollars -- merch, speaker fees, Patreons, etc. -- by spreading misinformation. Then, Gaby interviews their friends Ali Segel and Melissa Stetten, co-hosts of the conspiracy theory podcast Web Crawlers, about ethically profiting from crime and conspiracy. Plus, why Flat Earthers are ~the worst!~ This episode includes discussion of suicide, child porn, cults, police, Alex Jones, transphobia, medical conspiracies, and conspiracies surrounding school shootings. Please take care while listening.

Happy Pride! In the finale of Season 7, Gaby talks to professor, economist and author Lee Badgett about the financial and economic case for LGBTQ equality, the harmful myths about queer people and money (and the choice to focus all research on white, cis, gay men), and about Gaby's own reticence to engage with ending homophobia and transphobia through capitalism and corporate policy. It's a doozy of differing opinions! And in the end, it's probably all Will & Grace's fault. Then, a Dear Gaby with some Bad With Money book promotion and some interesting criticism AND love for Gaby's voice. Send an email to gabyisbadwithmoney@gmail.com or leave a voicemail at 844-474-4040.

Dr. Laurie Santos joins Gaby to discuss NOT whether money buys happiness (it does!) but rather what science shows us we should also be focusing on for happiness, why the human brain is designed to be bad with money, and what happened when monkeys were taught to buy treats with currency. Also, the curse of the lottery. Then, on Dear Gaby, a listener writes in about receiving a raise after discovering gender pay inequity at work and how she is using it for good. And, listener Casey calls in to ask about ethically investing an unexpected inheritance.

Then, during Dear Gaby, a listener shares their acceptance into a teaching and Masters program and how they met their goals during the pandemic by focusing on the specifics.
