Reinventing the Rip-Off with Lindsay Owens

September 17, 2026·1h 32m

As the Fed battles inflation and Americans bear the costs, Jon is joined by Lindsay Owens, President and CEO of the Groundwork Collaborative and author of the new book “Gouged: The End of a Fair Price—and What That Means for Your Wallet.” Together, they uncover how corporations collude to manipulate prices—and expose the new tools and technologies companies are using to track us, target us, and charge us more at checkout. Plus, Jon answers listeners’ questions about whether there’s any point in even asking Trump questions, the Supreme Court, and when to decorate for Halloween!
