Working Class History

This podcast cuts through the “noise” of propaganda that I’ve grown up having actively embedded in me, from school to my daily life, allowing me to effectively excavate that. I’m grateful for y’alls conscious efforts to center and uncover the truth of global workers’ movements that are not only critical to guiding us forward, but also give people who may not feel hope and inspiration in the midst of witnessing unparalleled violence, just that.

This podcast has — from the first episode I listened to — quickly become one of my very favorites. I’ve shared multiple episodes — and never joined a Patreon so quickly— bc I simply —instantly— had to hear some of the archived and bonus episodes referenced by the show. It’s an addictive pleasure . I was raised in a leftist family (highly influenced by the legacy of a Wobbly grandfather & unionist grandmother) and involved in leftist politics my whole life, but knew so little about the IWW before this podcast — as well as all kinds of other rich labor history… I feel like a kid in an educational candy store with endless horizons of riches in your archives and all the fantastic linked resources — it’s multiple PhDs worth of education in a podcast. Thank you for what you do -& keep it up!

I just finished their series on the Gwanju Uprising and I can’t overstate how invested I was in the story! Discussing histories that are often overlooked by the media and popular culture is how we keep the lessons taught from those who lived through it alive

Coming from very little information on working class struggle this podcast has been a blessing. Would strongly recommend to anybody interested in this. I appreciate the resources as well
