Odd Job: a Q&A series about the weirdest ways people make money

A marijuana delivery driver. A wedding speech writer. A professional twin (two, even). Amid the rise of the gig economy and falling unemployment, people all over America have found themselves taking on unusual jobs.

In interviews with everyone from people who are living their dreams to people who are just scraping by, The Goods digs into workers of the modern economy: how they got their start, how much money they make, and how it feels to occupy a particularly strange place in the weird world of work.
