Benjamin Franklin said that there are two certainties in life - death and taxes. So - why DO we pay taxes? And what does it say about what we value in this country? This week, @MollyMichelmore helps answer these questions. npr.org/templates/stor…

#Women were the top Directors and Producers when the film industry started, yet today they are barely represented in major awards. @throughlineNPR revisits this history, including the “Bechdel Test,” which even the creator acknowledges has its limits. npr.org/2023/03/21/116…

Fíjate que un amigo me mando un mensaje and told me: “Listening to NPRs @throughlineNPR, doing some yard work, and then your voice comes on. So cool.” Had to Google it and sure enough. I’m one of many with student loans, struggling. Here’s the episode. npr.org/2022/07/20/111…

In the late 1950s, Democrats pushed for more governmental investment in higher education. The legislation they drafted would have provided grant money for students to afford school. But some saw their efforts as a threat to American identity. npr.org/2023/03/30/116…

Student loans are a critical part of the American journey of upward mobility. In the ’80s, they helped more people get to college and earn higher wages. But it quickly became clear that the success couldn’t erase the debt. npr.org/2023/03/30/116…

Lyndon B. Johnson grew up in poverty. He took out a loan to afford college, and it changed his life. Later, as president, he tried to make higher education available to everyone. But his good intentions led to what some called a fund-eating dragon. npr.org/templates/stor…

In 1981, Funky 4 + 1 performed on SNL in one of the first nationally televised rap performances. MC Sha-Rock was pregnant at the time & the crew saw this as a threat to their success, revealing hip-hop’s long-standing double standards. 🎧 @LouderThanARiot: npr.org/2023/03/30/116…

Since our episode on house music last month, we’ve been thinking about other stories erased from music history. Tomorrow, we bring you an episode from @LouderThanARiot’s new season, dedicated to uplifting the Black women & queer artists who have been marginalized within hip-hop.

During WW2, the U.S. controlled prices for everyday items, including food. The inflation rate slowed and most Americans supported the strategy. But businesses, like the meat industry, fought back. npr.org/templates/stor…

When inflation rose in the 1940s, the government set strict prices on everyday items – and the inflation rate slowed. But not everyone was pleased. npr.org/templates/stor…
