Tune in to find out what we’ve learned, what our goals are for the future, and how we’re processing this shift. Thank you to all our amazing listeners. We love you. Solidarity forever.

How did a sweeping socialist epic focusing on poor immigrant workers end up being primarily known as the yucky book about meat production? We discuss this labor classic by Upton Sinclair as well as the graphic novel adaptation by Kristina Gehrmann.

We take a look at some novellas by Becky Chambers: A Psalm for the Wild-Built and A Prayer for the Crown-Shy. These books explore a unique eco-friendly utopia with some interesting socialist characteristics! Plus, we choose our robot names.

We’re back to finish up our tale of how a rural country went from subsistence agriculture to amazing feats like reaching full literacy, building whole new towns, and even going to space! But despite all the cool things they did for their people, the Mongolian leadership still somehow had plenty of times for schemes, backstabbing, and purges.

We talk the royal soap opera, UAW unions, the Boeing whistleblower, hate crimes, posting your dating Ls, the usual war crime coverage, and the 32-hour work week. Oh and a little bit of guillotine and Edison talk, for fun.
