In this episode of the Bored & Overeducated Podcast, hosts Dr. B (Dr. Abena Berry) and W (Wilson) dive into the growing frustrations surrounding the current state of society, rising costs of living, and the uncomfortable reality that money — while treated as essential — is ultimately a social construct.

From skyrocketing subscription services to the commercialization of basic human necessities like bottled water, Dr. B and W unpack how modern systems often prioritize profit and power over accessibility and fairness. They explore the widening gap between the cost of living and wages, question who truly benefits from these economic structures, and challenge listeners to think critically about what they are being charged for and why.

As always, the conversation blends insight, humor, and honest reflection while inviting listeners into the dialogue. Because at Bored & Overeducated, the audience isn’t just listening — they’re the third bestie in the room and part of a growing community focused on awareness, growth, and collective understanding.

Grab your favorite drink, get comfortable, and join the conversation.
