À propos de ce contenu audio

 In Love Doesn't Pay the Bills, we explore the role of family caregivers in the modern United States through personal stories and interviews with leaders. Care work is vital to all other aspects of life, yet often under-resourced. Caregivers cannot house and feed ourselves or provide for our own medical needs based on our love for our family members alone: access to income matters. We also have the same needs as other workers for regular time off, to participate in social life and recreation, and for ongoing education and new opportunities over time. email Lisa: lisatschudi@twosquaredmediaproductions.com

    The Value of Family Caregiving Across America: With Guest Rita Choula
    May 14 2026
    Rita B. Choula, MA is the senior director of caregiving at the AARP Public Policy Institute. In her role, she drives the development of family caregiving initiatives by providing content expertise, both within AARP and in partnership with a range of external collaborators. Her work bridges policy and research to practice, centered on identifying and supporting needs of family caregivers.

    Rita shares information from AARP's Valuing the Invaluable report: American family members provide 49.5 billion hours of care with an economic value of $1 trillion. Family care tasks include technical nursing tasks which in a paid setting would be highly paid.

  • Considering Our Time: With Guest Nancy Folbre

    Considering Our Time: With Guest Nancy Folbre
    May 7 2026
    "Conventional measures of economic success don’t capture the experience of everyday life in the U.S. The stock market is booming, and Gross Domestic Product is trudging upward. But inflation remains endemic, and the cost of care services is going up even faster than the “cost of living” measured by the standard Consumer Price Index." -Nancy Folbre

    What economic picture do we get when we ask questions about how people use all of their time, rather than just tracking dollars earned and spent? Guest Nancy Folbre is Professor Emerita of Economics at UMass Amherst and the author of Making Care Work: Why Our Economy Should Put People First. We discuss the limitations of using GDP to define the health of our economy and how we get very different pictures when we consider time use rather than earmed money alone.

    Love Is Not the Same as Unlimited Skilled Labor: With Guest Laura Mauldin
    Apr 30 2026
    Welcome back to the relaunch of Love Doesn't Pay the Bills: Highlighting the Value of Care Work!

    Guest Laura Mauldin is the author of "In Sickness and In Health", about America's failure to properly support citizens who are chronically ill or disabled, instead relying on the unpaid labor of spouses.
    Laura interviews care recipient and caregiver dyads who are romantic partners.

    Laura shares some of her own experience caregiving for a spouse. We discuss the common framing of 'love' to obligate people to extensive care labor, some of the harms this obligation causes as well as common themes Laura noticed in her interviews.
