The Dream
In Season 2 we look at a world just as shady and mysterious as MLMs, but one whose promises are at times even more bombastic and unfathomable: WELLNESS. What is it? Who sells it? And will it bring you eternal happiness…and, perhaps, eternal life?

Introducing Other People's Pockets: What’s in Your Wallet?
Big news everybody! Season 3 of The Dream is coming your way this fall! In the meantime, we want to introduce a brand new show from Little Everywhere and Pushkin Industries….Other People's Pockets. Hosted by Maya Lau, a former investigative journalist for the LA Times, Other People’s Pockets gets uncomfortably specific about how each guest earns, values, saves and even loses money. Maya’s not afraid to ask the tough questions: How much do you make? What social class do you consider yourself a part of? What do you spend your money on that you know you shouldn't? And, what’s your net worth? You’ll be surprised at the reactions, ranging from uncomfortable hedging to radical financial transparency. In today’s episode, Jane Marie, host of The Dream, turns the table on Maya, asking her all of the same taboo questions normally reserved for OPP guests! You can hear more from Other People's Pockets at apple.co/pockets. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Coming Soon...The Dream
We’ve all got that friend or cousin who steadily hawks some overpriced miracle drink, leggings, or shampoo on social media. They aren’t just trying to sell you something, but would like to offer you the opportunity of a lifetime to achieve riches while working from home on your own terms. You’ve probably been too afraid, or too loving, or too reasonable to confront them. Not us. This season on The Dream we go inside the world of multi-level marketing to expose this pyramid-shaped business model for what it is. Join us on this bizarre journey filled with snake oil salesmen, shifty millionaires, struggling single moms, and a few sweet grandmas.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
