Markus Grant investigates the systems extracting from regular people. Healthcare, housing, labor, money in politics.
Each episode: name the system, show the receipts, give the audience a move they can take. Both parties named when both parties cashed the check. Mechanism over motive. No team jerseys.
Each episode runs in segments (Cold Open, Morning, Noon, Evening). Chapter markers let you skip around.
Full episodes drop Saturdays at 8 AM ET. Sidebars between major arcs.
