The Ridiculous Argument for a Gold Standard, How the Economy Actually Functions

Hosted by Jordan Chariton and the team at Status Coup News, Status Coup Podcast operates from a simple, urgent premise: the dominant narratives in news often miss the real story. This isn't about commentary from a distant studio; it's boots-on-the-ground reporting focused on systemic corruption, economic injustice, and the communities directly impacted by these forces. Each episode digs into the struggles and power dynamics that shape our world, offering a progressive perspective that challenges mainstream coverage. You’ll hear detailed investigations and conversations that connect political and corporate power to the daily lives of ordinary people. The aim is a kind of journalistic insurgency against a broken status quo, providing clarity where there is typically noise. Tuning into this podcast means hearing the stories that are frequently sidelined, told with a commitment to accountability and grassroots truth. It’s for anyone who believes journalism should serve the public, not the powerful, and seeks reporting that goes beyond the headlines to uncover deeper, often uncomfortable, realities. The work of Status Coup News is built on this foundation of in-depth, principled scrutiny.
