Episode 1083: Arnie Arnesen Attitude October 7 2026

Part 1:We talk with JoelleRollo-Koster, Professor Emirta of Medieval History, University of Rhode Island. We discuss the uprisings of peasants in the past, While most power was concentrated in the upper classes, peasant uprisings have been more frequent and vioelent than most people know. This should serve as an example of what today's underclasses could do, when they are abused.Part 2:We talk with Joe Zagorski, author of "Power of Cash."We discuss how gambling has become such widespread, mostly because it is 'frictionless'. That is, no actual cash is exchanged. Easy access to virtual money has made many people not 'feel the pain' of losing enough. This is also true for purchases of goods. This practice also discriminates against poor people who do not have credit cards or bank accounts.  WNHNFM.ORG  production
