This episode is a co-production of the "Leading Voices in Food" and "Policy 360" podcasts. Both are from the Sanford School of Public Policy at Duke.
Two investigative stories for The Guardian indicate "widespread overcharging" by major chains like 7-Eleven and Dollar General. Think soda, candy, food, even gas. Barry Yeoman is an award-winning journalist, and he co-wrote the stories. Now members of Congress are calling on the Federal Trade Commission to investigate. Yeoman teaches journalism at Duke through the DeWitt Wallace Center for Media and Democracy. He is joined on the podcast by Norbert Wilson, Director of the World Food Policy Center at Duke.
Host: Anna Gassman-Pines.
