#066 WTF Is Money?

Friday, 9 January 2026 - 5:30pm to 6:30pm
WTF Is Money

We all use money. We have some sort of understanding of how to use it and how to lose it. It defines so much of what we can and can't do. But what is it and where does it come from? It turns out that we actually don't have a very good understanding of what money is.

Katy and Kev start the conversation and try to figure what money is, and how it's been captured by corporate interests.
