About this listen

In this eye-opening episode of That’s Life: Uncovered, host Kyle Fields pulls back the curtain on one of America’s most uncomfortable truths—poverty. But this isn’t just about statistics or sob stories; it’s about a system designed to keep the poor struggling while the wealthy thrive.


Join us as we explore:

• The manipulative tactics used by payday loan companies and why they prey on the vulnerable.

• How low wages and rising costs trap millions of hardworking Americans in a cycle of survival.

• The false promises of education and the crippling burden of student loans.

• Why government aid often seems designed to keep people dependent rather than helping them rise out of poverty.

• Real stories of those who have tried to escape poverty, only to be met with new barriers.


Kyle takes you on a raw, unflinching journey through the lives of those the system fails, challenging you to see beyond the stereotypes and understand the human cost of an economy rigged against the poor.


Listen now, and see the truth behind the numbers.
