In the final episode of season 2, we look at the people who killed, but also put on a big show, and collected tribute while they were at it. The EXECUTIONER. Listen discretion is advised.
@Podchaser We spent a week building idea quadrants, assembling linguistic sources, doing competitive analysis, brainstorming, and force ranking potential names as a group…
…then someone accidentally said "these jobs are obsolete" too fast and said "jobsolete," and we all said THAT'S IT
The obsolete job from today's episode is Rum Runner, and yes, it was an illegal job. They were the folks who smuggled alcohol into the United States during Prohibition. Here's one of the most famous rum runners of the era,"The Real McCoy" himself, Bill McCoy.
New episode is up, and it is far out. (sorry) It's the rarest of all occupations on Jobsolete. Only 24 men have ever gone to the Moon, and all of them were from the United States. In this episode, Helen and Matt learn about the legacy and impact of the moon astronaut.
In case you missed it, we have a new episode out about Animated Cel Inkers. Basically, the women who made full-length animated Disney films come to life. Today, computers do what they did by hand.
In our latest episode, we look at sin eaters. Yes, people who ate sins for cash. Sin eaters traditionally ate bread placed over a recently deceased person's casket that had "soaked up" their sins. If this job existed today, what would be a better food to eat sins from?
We're back. The first episode of Season Two is now up, wherever you get your podcasts. This obsolete job was only around for around 19 months. Can you guess what it was?
