In this bonus episode of Debt Heads, we take you back one year, when we stopped hammering out our first season of Debt Heads so we could break ground on a timely story all about the brick and mortar businesses that keep our neighborhood level, and the economic winds that are threatening to demolish them. We hope we nailed a sturdy feeling of community for this old house - enjoy! Follow Debt Heads on Instagram, TikTok, Substack, Patreon and YouTube.Credits:Writing/Editing/Production: Jamie Feldman & Rachel WebsterTheme Song: "Pay For That Money," Written and Performed by The Defibulators, PigCow Publishing (ASCAP)Original Score: Ali HelnweinAudio Mix: Jeff Seelye
