The Wire, S02E07- Backwash (Patreon)

Good morning, Patrons! It's time for the next installment of our favorite criminals saga, The Wire. This episode we have a third co-host and special guest, Steven Attewell! Steven is the person who wrote the primer on unions (link below) and he has done a lot of work with unions and union activism in the past, so we thought it would be fun to get his input on everything. He will be joining us again in a future episode, and I thought it was a lot of fun to have him on. If you're interested in checking out his website, he's at www.racetotheironthrone.wordpress.com, and he's also now writing for Salon.com! Things get pretty personal this episode as we talk about what's been going on in Baltimore, the truth about what it means to be "working class", and how difficult it is to move upwards when you're saddled with the same debt that was supposed to make you a success. It's a long one, so strap in and get ready for a lengthy and in-depth discussion where I maybe share a little too much information about myself. Oh well! Life is short. I hope you all enjoy the episode, and I will see you tomorrow with Empire!
