In our very first episode, your hosts Joanna and LV crack open the vault of history to ask a deceptively simple question: what the hell is money? Not the bills in your wallet, not the numbers in your banking app — but money. Real money. The kind that holds its value when the system starts to shake.

We’re diving deep — from the primal origins of barter and trade, to gold, silver, and the digital mirage of cryptocurrencies. Along the way, we dissect the difference between currency (cheap IOUs) and sound money — and why knowing that difference could save your financial future.
