The Uncertain Hour

“The Uncertain Hour,” Marketplace’s podcast documentary and multimedia series, is a timely, immersive look at the welfare system 20 years after reform. We follow the money and read the fine print to magnify how one of the most controversial federal programs works. Marketplace spent nearly a year tracking down the folks involved in the reform, and we pored over state spending to create a database where you can discover how your state spends welfare dollars.
