The recent killing of a United Healthcare CEO sparked a heightened awareness and conversations about the inefficiencies and inequalities of our healthcare system. People seem to be struggling more and more to pay their bills and keep afloat in our economic system, while wealth inequality is at the highest levels ever. In this episode of Everything Is Real Radio host Sam Sebren questions if we are living in some sort of Ponzi scheme and presents various recent news clips with relevant musical interludes. Tune in to hear reports from a variety of voices expressing the struggles and frustrations many of us are feeling now, more than ever.

Sounds across the sonic spectrum, blurring genres and focusing on under- and unrecognized artists working in experimental territories. The show sometimes includes interviews with guest composers, live performances, and collaborations. Live from the WGXC Catskill studio.
