Working Class History - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This is a clear, well-researched and executed podcast that is doing important work for a better understanding of working people’s history and the blood sweat and tears spilled that is far too often glossed over or attributed to the benevolence of the powers that be. Thank you so much for the work that you do ✊🏼

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!

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.

I’ve learned so much from this podcast. I would recommend it to anyone interested in the topic, as it is so relevant to the struggles that working people face today.
