Author Mary Pilon brings you the story of Monopoly’s forgotten inventor, and explains how the original rules were meant to expose the ills of capitalism, not fetishize them.

About

I'm lead producer at Do Over, a podcast about the strange terror of choice.

I used to be a producer for BackStory, which I joined after a brief and sordid affair with graduate-level philosophy in Guelph, Canada. I started a nationally syndicated radio show and podcast called Pioneer Radio, got some training at the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University, won a Third Coast Short Doc award for a three-minute piece about poutine, produced a documentary for the BBC about firearm suicide, and started a family.

Let’s just say I didn’t make a whole lot of progress on that Ph.D.

Turns out that radio is much more fun.
