Transcript

How many subscriptions are you paying for right now? From entertainment and storage to software and clothes, more and more of our lives now come with a monthly price tag. I'm Rima Reis, host of Marketplace's podcast, This Is Uncomfortable. And this week, we look at how subscriptions took over, why they're so hard to quit, and why companies keep finding new things to charge us for. I am very ready to change my name to Lance Plus. You want to talk to me? You pay a little bit extra. I'll have hair. It'll be wonderful. Be sure to listen to This Is Uncomfortable on your favorite podcast app.
